NEWS FROM THE FOOD PANTRY

On November 14th, local Pastors and Board of Directors of the Central Dakota Food Pantry hosted the Thanksgiving

distribution at the local pantry. Turkeys and all the trimmings for a Thanksgiving meal were given to 79 households. The households consisted of 76 adults, 24 children and 31 seniors.

A special thank you to St. Cecilia's parish for their donations totaling 315 pounds!

On Tuesday, December 10th, all donations from our church will be taken to the pantry to be shelved and ready for the Thursday, December 12th distribution. Assembly of God and Victory Baptist will be hosting.

With the colder weather we have seen an increase of 12 new households who will need assistance during the winter months. Our baskets look pretty empty right now but we still have until noon on Tuesday the 10th to make a donation!

Whatever donation you can help with will be greatly appreciated as our supplies are on the low side since the November distribution.

God Bless you all for your generosity this past year.....God's Work...Our Hands! Kathy Grossman

Stewardship Moment December 8, 2019 – 2nd Sunday of Advent “Therefore, every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.” Matthew 3:10

Do you bear good fruit for Christ? Or, do you spend your time, talent and treasure constantly acquiring more toys, clutter and junk. Our time,

our talent and our treasure are gifts that God has given us. What we do with them is our gift back to God. What gifts are you planning to give to the Lord during this upcoming Christmas season?

Thank You, Thank You to our Parish and CDA members for the awesome amount of items received for St. Gianna’s. We received over 650 diapers, 11 large packets of Baby Wipes, $225 in gift cards, 32 sleepers and onesies…. Too many goodies to list! The items will be taken to St. Gianna’s in Warsaw, ND, before Christmas. May God Bless you all with a Joyous Christmas knowing that you’ve given hope during this season of giving!
