OK, Strawbridge - it's half-time and we're at 45% of our goal, with 1,450 food items collected so far. But the good news....there's lots of time left in the game! Food collection bags are still available at 3 collection points around the church. Remember, this a community event....so take an extra bag for a neighbor. The campaign ends Super Bowl Sunday, February 2. Meanwhile, it's exciting to watch the food stack expand in the Narthex!

Come to Pastor Todd's office Sunday Mornings 10:05-10:55 a.m. to learn more about who we are, what we believe, and what we do. All are welcome, and this class is especially beneficial for guests and new members.

This study will include close-ups of Moses, Aaron, Caleb, and others, as well as careful consideration of doctrinal themes, such as "In God's Service" and "Justice vs. Mercy."
