Our success continues to build!
Attendance at the monthly (third Saturday) Poimaino Community Meal
continues to increase. Largely due to the concurrent 50 cent garage sale, 50
people were fed including 20 from the community, 17 members of the board of the
South Central Conference of the United Church of Christ, and 11 volunteers from
First Congregational Church, and 2 volunteers from St. Peter United Church of
Christ.
Volunteering for the meal is proving inspirational and transformative for
many. Also, church members are developing deeper relationships with each other.
The next meal with concurrent 50 cent garage sale will be Saturday, December 15.
Cooks arrive at 9 a.m. and minglers arrive by 11 a.m. The meal is served at 12
noon. Clean up is usually complete by 2 p.m. Come join us!
Beginning Tuesday, December 4, please bring garage sale items to St. Peter
United Church of Christ between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Donations may also be left at First Congregational Church on Sundays or during
office hours. Please mark all boxes/bags "Poimaino." This ministry is organized
by your Board of Missions.
Thanks for all you're doing to help those in need. We are truly working to
be the hands and feet of Christ here on Earth.
Grace and Peace,
Burton
