Blessing Box

Have you noticed our blessing box near the entrance to the church? It's like the  little library boxes, but with items of food and basic necessities. Genius idea! The items below seem to be the most beneficial and needed.

Chef Boyardee’s canned products
(ravioli, spaghetti and meatballs, lasagna etc.)
Campbell’s Soups
Canned fruits (mixed, pineapple, peaches, pears) 
Tuna fish in water
Mac and Cheese
Toothpaste and Toothbrushes


Place your donations in the plastic Blessubg Box containers just inside the front door of the Church.

The box frequently needs replenishment,
signifying that it, and all those who contribute, are serving the community. Thank you and may 
you know every day that you are a true blessing
to those around you and to your community.
