You may print a blank copy for a worksheet, or print your completed report for your own records. Please do not mail these worksheets to the district office or to me, they are for your use only. e.

*Church Directory Form. Please only fill in where there are changes to last year's form. I have attached a copy of last year's church directory file fo you to check your church. Please check addresses, email addresses, and
phone numbers carefully. If there are no changes to last year's form, please send in a blank form so that I know that you have completed it.
*Church Certificate of Election Form Please fill in the delegates names and email addresses for assembly. Use the chart on the left to determine your number of delegates. Please note, do not just assume that it will be the same number as last year, especially if your membership total has changed.

| LOCAL CHURCH NEWS |
Morgandale
Shepherd's Hands Ministry Update from Pastor Clint Jones:
When I first came to Morgandale almost three years ago, our Shepherd's Hands Ministry was giving articles of clothing and food to an average of seven families per month. This past year, we had up to twenty nine families a month and our families received three bags of food per family as well as clothes.
I am unable to get assistance from Second Harvest Food Bank in Youngstown. They want us to team up with another pantry close by, but we have families that have no car and walk to our church to receive help, even standing in snow or rain to receive the food. We had put in place a monthly budget of $200.00 per month and recently increased it to $250.00. We have only run out of food once and that was when we had 29 families. Most months we minister to 24 or 25 and our shelves are depleted every month. Last year we gave 3913 food items and 1,769 articles of clothing. It has been encouraging to have several of those families now attending our church on a regular basis and I get to help them with their children and their spiritual needs as well.
We would ask if any of the district churches could please announce our need for baby and children's clothes especially, all sizes ladies' and men's clothing as well, or with a monetary donation. It would be so very appreciated.
Thank you,
