CHURCH NEWS

Give Up – or Do – Something for Lent

We’re sure you’ve heard of giving up something during the season of Lent. The Missions Ministry encourages you to DO Something … donate some food or give up some funds. You’ll help lift up families (over 200!) served by OUR Pantry for End 68 Hours of Hunger.

 Take a bag with a list from the pew and shop. If you bought one small item each of the 40 days of Lent, that would be super. Please bring the items to church (M-F 9am – 1pm) or to 10am Worship Sundays from now until Palm Sunday, April 13.

 Write a check to HPPC and mark it Lenten Food Drive or find the Lenten Food Drive link on the Text to Give site.
Thanks for your generosity.
