It has been organized nicely by Linda

LOVE TO KNIT OR CROCHET?
Now that we are able to visit people in the hospital and care homes, we are starting up our prayer shawl ministry again. We can use prayer shawls and lap covers. You can call 623-584-2280 (church office) & leave a message for Prayer Shawl Ministry if you have questions. Instructions for the knitting of the shawls and the lap coverings will be provided, if needed. Note: Lap coverings need to be big enough to cover the lap going down just over the knee. We have a variety of yarn that has been donated if you would like to use it.
Thank you for being a part of this ministry.

Sandwich Making for Justa Center
The sandwich crew is in need of big jars of creamy peanut butter. Walmart sells 4 lb. jars of peanut butter that are the most economical and easiest to work with. As for jelly, they prefer grape jelly, but we will take and use any flavor of jelly/jam. The squeezable containers are not worth the trouble. We are well stocked on baggies and gloves. Please bring your donations to the church office or leave them on the counter in the kitchen. Please call the church office at 623-584-2280 and leave a message for Mary G. to sign up to help make sandwiches or if you have any questions. Everyone must wear a mask and we will social distance. Special thanks to Ken P., who is our Justa Center sandwich courier. We continue to accept donations of peanut butter and jelly. Please bring them to the church.

Communion Offerings – Nine months out of the year the gifts support the Special Days and Causes designated by our Annual Conference as special mission projects.
Holiday Offerings – At Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter, we receive a special offering which is sent directly to support mission ministries that bring healing and hope.
Monthly Food Collection – As we are fed on Communion weekends (first Saturday and Sunday of the month) with the bread and cup of Christ’s love, we seek to also feed others through the collection of non-perishable food items. Drop boxes/wagons are located in the Chapel on Saturdays and Sanctuary on Sundays. Donations are given to Valley View Food Bank. valleyviewfoodbank.wordpress.com)
