PM Service downstairs in the church
fellowship hall.
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 Loaves and Fishes ministry provides a little help to individuals or
families who've hit a bit of a rough spot. 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,
