Loaves and Fishes - THANK YOU!!!!
In 2010, consider increasing your Loaves and Fishes offering as one of your resolutions. Could you add an extra item for New Horizons every time you shop? Could you bring an item in each time you come to church? What about increasing your monthly giving from one to two bags? What would work best for you? As you shop keep in mind the items most needed by the New Horizons Food Pantry: diapers (especially larger sizes), baby formula, peanut butter, jelly, baked beans, macaroni & cheese, canned goods, tomato sauce, pasta, and tuna.
The next collection will take place on Sunday, April 4th.

THANK YOU
Thank you to the ladies who volunteer on Tuesdays and Thursdays at Brookside. These lovely ladies straighten up and polish the pews in the sanctuary and the chapel. They also help out with the envelopes for the holiday baskets and the candles for our candlelight services. They have been doing an excellent job. We are lucky to have them.
This summer and fall we had another volunteer who helped with weeding the gardens and picking up any trash outside. He did an excellent job and we look forward to him returning next summer.
