| FEEDING
THE NEEDY |
| |
These are economically challenging times for
all of us! Many of our brothers and sisters in the Washington,
DC Metropolitan area are on fixed incomes. Some are homeless
and have no income. We are asking the members of this congregation
who can, to donate $1.00 (or more if you have it) each week
to help feed those less fortunate than ourselves. Please
use your contribution or pew envelope to donate. Be sure
to write your name and member number to ensure proper credit.
In the alternative, you may also donate one item of non-perishable
food. Let's ensure that our seniors, disabled and low income
persons have food to sustain them in the coming months. God
will richly bless you!
