Food Drive – Don’t forget to bring your non-perishable food items this weekend! This past Sunday, the deacons handed out pieces of paper with a non-perishable item written on it which are in high demand at the Gathering Markit. Please bring that item with you to church on Thanksgiving weekend (Sunday or Monday). These offerings will be donated next door to the Gathering Markit. This is a non profit grocery store that emphasis’ dignity, choice and convenience. They strive to provide a shopping experience that extends a helping hand to families facing short term financial challenges. It will be donated on Tuesday, Oct 15. If you lost your slip of paper or missed it on Sunday some of the items needed are coconut milk, tomato sauce, rice, pasta, tortillas, oil, granola bars, fruit snacks and flour.
