Every July our clients must sign up again in order to continue receiving food from our pantry, it verifies that they live in our area and are income eligible. The items donated by the churches in our pantry area are a blessing. All other food distributed is purchased from Second Harvest with money donated to our pantry. Won’t you please help by donating soup, canned fruit or vegetables, or something on sale where you shop? It will be greatly appreciated.
“For I was Hungry and you gave me something to Eat” (Matthew 25:35)

Please join us on Monday August 17th from 6:00-7:00 in the Lakewood Prayer Chapel (off the sanctuary). This prayer hour has a new format which will include a weekly focus and special prayer intention. This is a comfortable, welcoming, covenant space to gather in the presence of God. You don’t need to pray out loud unless you want to – you can simply participate by being present. We plan to meet every Monday for one hour – there is no commitment – come when you can or feel called to be there. Everyone is invited.
If you have any questions, please contact Lisa Medina, Margueritta Estes or Jackie Bull.
