Both the Special Offerings for the month of February and the Lenten Self-Denial Offerings have been designated by the Congregation Council to be donated to the Sterling Buddy Bag Program. The need for this community food program becomes more pronounced each month. Food insecurities in our community are related to housing insecurities, and both affect our school-age children. The food is simple, nutritious and something children can prepare without too much effort. The program is sponsored by community churches, public schools, and the Coalition for Community Services (ICCS). Most of us have plenty of food on our tables, but that is not the case for many families. Please consider a generous donation to support this ministry and the growing need for families in our community.
