CHRISTIAN YOUTH EDUCATION

Sunday School has started.

Each Month the Birthday bank comes out at coffee hour and the Peoples who have a birthday that month get to put money in. That money collected goes to the Heifer Project. So if it's your Birthday or not you can put money in for someone else.

Our Hempstead Emergency Food Center has a particular need now for cereal, spaghetti sauce, tuna, and canned meat. Our Riverhead Center needs stew, peanut butter, and cereal. We also need volunteers to pick up food donations and schlep these to Hempstead or Riverhead. If you can help, please call Hugh Watts at 516-486-2272 or Carolyn Gumbs at 631-727-2210. We also need volunteers in both our Hempstead and Riverhead offices to answer phones and greet clients. Could you give one morning or afternoon a week to do this?

Stamp Mission We have contributed to this important mission for many years. This is a year round project. Laura wishes to thank all the people who were so kind to save canceled stamps for her and for their participation in supporting the Lord's work. The Stamp Ministry director requests that stamps be saved in a large receptacle, such as a big envelope or box, so they do not become bent. She also stresses that no staples, scotch tape, paper clips or rubber bands be used on the stamps. These things mar the stamps with holes or bends that do not straighten out. Only perfect stamps can be used for the mission's purpose. Thank you.
