COUNTING OUR BLESSINGS

We are requesting that each Sunday, our families bring in non-perishable food items (cereal, soup, etc.) for our local food bank.  This summer, the Food Bank is in need of peanut butter, spaghetti sauce and toilet paper. 

Egg cartons are needed to re-package bulk eggs for the families.  

All donations will be brought up to the altar and blessed prior to being delivered to the Glade Valley Food Bank.

THE KITCHEN COMMITTEE

The Kitchen Committee wants to thank everyone for their efforts in keeping our refrigerators and freezer so much nicer.  Keeping them cleared out really helps limit waste, clutter, as well as possible Health Department concerns.  So if you use those appliances, please continue to:

·         Use a sticky dot to label the group you’re associated with.  These dots can be found in top drawer to the right of the refrigerator.

·         Put on a date on the sticker.

·         If you had altar flowers, please get them from refrigerator within two days.

Unlabeled items will be thrown away.

  Questions?  Contact Lee Frazier, Committee Chair (301-606-4255) Thank you!

" Can I Get an AMEN?"

Amen itself is an interjection used to agree with, affirm, approve, or emphasize something else that has been said.

Thus when Jesus begins certain sayings by declaring "Amen, amen, I say to you . . . "
