On Saturday, February 21 we will be going out to be a blessing to our community as we serve and meet needs in love. This will be in conjunction with our Faith Promise Emphasis in February where we highlight the missions that we support and encourage financial giving toward those missions. On Saturday, February 21 we will have several projects that will be taking place and there is something for everyone to do. Here are a couple of service opportunities for that day and more will be added. Ruth House Work We will be taking some able-bodied people to do some work around the Ruth House in Umatilla. We will be putting on a new deck on the back porch of their house. We will also be doing some pressure washing and some other small projects for them. Lake Eustis Care Center We will be meeting at the church’s fellowship hall to design greeting cards that will then be taken to the Lake Eustis Care Center and given to the residents that live there. We just want to tell the people there that we care and that they matter to God. Landscaping Project We will be doing a big landscaping project on the Orange Avenue side of our church building. We have some attractive palm trees but the other plants and shrubbery is lacking. We will be pulling out some of the old and preparing for new plants to go in. Miscellaneous Projects We will also have some other projects available that day but we are still ironing out the details. More information will follow soon. We would love to have you and your families join us that day as we give back to our community. We know that Jesus was a servant and that he led by example. In Philippians 2:5 we are told that we must have the same attitude as Jesus. This is a great way to be part of that. So come out and join us for a couple of hours on February 21st. More detail and times will be discussed in the coming weeks.

The program provides groceries, both non-perishables and fresh goods, to families within our own congregation or those in the community we know with special needs. Our first distribution in December was a huge success, providing more than 30 bags of groceries to 6 families. We continue collecting dry goods and sign-ups for fresh goods, for distribution on February 28th. There are various ways to get involved. You can bring non-perishables to the basket in the foyer marked "Loaves and Fishes". Or you can sign up to bring fresh goods. Or you can donate funds for groceries using "Loaves and Fishes" on the memo line of your check. Or you can show up on the distribution day to help bag it all up. Some suggestions: Dry goods: pasta, noodles, rice; pasta sauce, gravy; canned fruits or veggies; canned or dry beans; canned tuna or meats; canned soup; peanut butter; cereals Fresh goods: produce (carrots, beans, apples, grapes, bananas); bread; eggs; milk; cheese; fresh meats, lunch meats For any questions, please contact Diane Thomas @ 352-589-6847. Cook book Recipes will continue to be collected thru Wednesday, February 4. A recipe book will then be put together.
