PLEASE SIGN UP TODAY if you are planning to bring your car to TRUNK OR TREAT on Saturday, October 24, from 3 – 4:30 p.m. Decorating your cars or wearing a costume or fun T-shirt adds to the festivities, but is optional. We also appreciate donations of candy or other treats to help those who bring their cars. Donations can be left on the tables in the chapel or narthex.
OCTOBER MISSION ENVELOPES will support the Niagara Gospel Mission’s “FEED THE FALLS” free Thanksgiving and Christmas meals. Niagara Gospel Mission anticipates that they will serve at least 2000 dinners this year for Thanksgiving, and more for Christmas. Because generous community partners have stepped up, the Mission can provide each dinner for just $2.50. That means a $25 donation in your mission envelope will feed 10 people a holiday meal. Our donations will help the Gospel Mission provide a nutritious holiday meal to everyone who walks through their doors.
HARVEST FOOD COLLECTION: Our annual food drive to support St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry on Military Road will begin next Sunday and continue until the Sunday before Thanksgiving. Shopping lists of their most-needed items will be located on the donation tables in the chapel and narthex. All non-perishable food items are appreciated. PLEASE be sure your donations do not expire before the end of 2026.
POTTER’S FIELD CHRISTMAS CHILD: Many of the children that attend Potter’s Field activities live in situations of poverty and neglect. Christmas gifts are not part of the life that they know. If you would like to help Potter’s Field provide gifts for each of their children, PLEASE SIGN UP ON THE GLASS CASE BY NOVEMBER 8. Virginia Markel will provide you with a child’s name, age, and wish list for shopping ideas. Bring your wrapped gift(s) back to church marked with the child’s name, and Virginia will make sure they get to Potter’s Field.
