The Mission of the Month for April is:

Meals on Wheels
Please keep this ministry in your prayers. Meals on Wheels is a ministry of Salem County that provides meals for those people in our community who would need a healthy, hot meal once or twice a day. The elderly, terminally ill or homebound are recipients of these blessings. We have had many people in our church over the years who were on delivery teams to take these meals into homes. It involves more than just dropping a meal off but often includes the building of personal relationships with the recipients. There are 12 assisted listening devices available for people to better hear the worship service. They are located in a basket in the narthex. CD copies of our worship service are also available every Sunday in the narthex. Local food banks such as Disciples Pantry in Woodstown and Peters Pantry in Elmer continue to be in need of items. This need will greatly increase in the summer when children are out of school and no longer have access to school lunches. Items in need include canned potatoes, instant potatoes, rice, cereal, canned meats, canned fruit, peanut butter, jelly (strawberry), spaghetti sauce, pasta, soup, tea, etc. Please leave your contribution in the box marked in the narthex and we will make sure it gets there. If you would like to make a monetary donation you can use the white envelopes in the pews. Thank you in advance!
