Loaves and Fishes

A Loaves & Fishes Pantry

The food pantry items for October are baking items (sugar, flour, oils, spices). They are always happy to accept miscellaneous items and have an ongoing need for dry cat & dog food in 3-5 lb bags.


Please bring your items to church and place them in one of 3 food bin locations: the office area, the Sanctuary basement level near the elevator, and the Education Building upper level near the center stairs.  Thank you!  


Thank you! If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact Laurie Knight at appfan1188@carolina.rr.com.


Book Drive

In partnership with Ada Jenkins Center and Promising Pages, we are collecting new, like new, and gently used books from infant to high school with the greatest need being pre-k through 5th grade. 


Please bring your books to church and place them in one of three book bin locations:  the office area, the Sanctuary basement level near the elevator, and the Education Building upper level near the center stairs.


The book collection will continue throughout the year.
