Please remember to return your Angel Tree clothing items and stockings by the end of November. Carolyn Cox, Emmanuel’s Head Angel, has made it very easy for us with the brightly colored labeled containers located in the Narthex. Thank you Carolyn!
Your hands and willing hearts are needed Saturday morning 9:30 am-12:00 pm, December 1, when Emmanuel hosts a Rise Against Hunger meal packaging event in the Parish Hall.
A group of 40-50 volunteers can package 10,152 meals in just two hours! Volunteers work in assembly lines packaging highly nutritious dehydrated meals comprised of rice, soy, vegetables, and 23 essential vitamins and minerals.
Donna Lewis is taking volunteer signatures during Sunday Coffee Hour for this Emmanuel sponsored Outreach Program.
