PRISON MINISTRY: Paul Schumacher brings prayer requests on Sunday mornings for any who are interested to pray for the inmates during the week. There is also a need for recreation equipment. The need is for new or very good condition items such as soccer balls, basketballs, footballs, basketball nets, volleyballs, volleyball net, softball gloves and board games. If you have any of these items that you would be willing to donate, call the church office at 407-644-5222 or you can leave them in the church workroom.
RED BAG MINISTRY: You may bring items for the pantry at any time. Help us to keep our children from going hungry. Remember to pick up a RED BAG on the third Sunday and return it on the fourth Sunday filled with the items requested on the attached list. Please remember…NO GLASS CONTAINERS, NO EXTRA LARGE BOXES. THERE IS A GREAT NEED now for extra cereal and extra fruit. For the months of April and May, if you could double just one of the items on the list that would help a great deal. They hope to stockpile this summer and be ready for the new school year. Also, there has been a splitting bag problem and they have found that the bags that Aldi sells for 10 cents are very durable and last a lot longer. If anyone shops at Aldi and could buy some additional bags, that would be a true blessing. Thank you to everyone who continues to support this ministry.
