Calvary Food Pantry
The pantry is experiencing very high levels of need during this difficult
economic period, with a record number of families served each month. Special ongoing needs include items people can not obtain
using food stamps: laundry detergent, dish detergent, paper towels, shampoo,
bath soap, tooth paste, deodorant, disposable razors, sanitary products,
toilet paper, diapers especially sizes 3 and 4. Ongoing needs for food
include canned
fruit, tuna fish, spaghetti sauce, juice, and cereal.
Financial contributions are welcome as the pantry buys significant
quantities of food; there is a lock box for donations in the Narthex. Your contributions are blessed in our Sunday service, in the prayer of
dedication for all offerings.
Friends in Service Here
The FISH Program is our congregational care program. Friends in Service are those who are willing to
connect with a member who would benefit from that connection. Each relationship is different
and each is a gift!
If you would like to be a Friend in Service, if you would like to have a Friend
in Service, or if you know someone who might benefit from
such a relationship, please fill out the FISH card and put it in the offering plate. Contact Mary Shayler with any questions. Thanks!
