The birthdays listed in the newsletter publication last week were October birthdays (not September birthdays).  We apologize for the error.  (The names and dates printed are October birthdays.)

The need is great!  Each week of September a much needed food item will be the focus for donating!  Items may be brought to church or dropped off at Hope House or the Chamber of Commerce:

            September 9^th  -  Peanut Butter

            September 16^th -  Jelly

            September 23^rd - Juice

            September 30^th - Canned Fruit

We'll have a table set up in the foyer for donations.  Share this information with your friends who do not have email.

                                            Ending Hunger - One Step at A Time

                                              Sunday, September 30^th - 2:00 p.m.

        This past year, caring people in some 2,000 U.S. communities joined together in 1,599 CROP Hunger Walks and other CROP events.  They raised $14.3 million to help end hunger at home and around the world.

        Would you like to participate in this year's CROP Walk?  The youth have set a goal of $1,500 to raise for this year's walk. 

        If you would like to walk, contact the church office.  If you would like to pledge, please contact one of our mid high or Sr high youth, or our Youth Director, Jessica Coen.

        Help us build a world where there is enough for all!

        25% of the total Crop Walk income will go to Hope House.
