Bags waiting for someone to get them.

The Food Bag Ministry is ongoing.  We will continue to accept monetary donations. Food bags are available at the back of the education building on the Welchshire side from Noon-6:00 pm every Monday (see picture at left). If you know of a family in need, please feel free to come by and pick up a bag and deliver it.

We thought you would like to see a glimpse of the Food Bag Ministry at work.   Thanks to those who volunteered to help fill bags this past Sunday (Dec 6) and to Trish Brownlee and Lindsay Lamport for their vision and work in helping all of us to reach out to our neighbors.

Several ladies from the Park Avenue church as well as some from Sea Isle Elementary came together Tuesday evening, December 1, to wrap presents for the school Holiday Sale.  Each year the school has a holiday store for the students so they can buy small, inexpensive gifts for their friends and family.  This year we helped out by furnishing a place to meet and extra hands to wrap each gift.  Thanks also to Nancy and others who brought refreshments.  Several stayed for the entire time, 6 to 9 p.m., and others came and went as they had time.  Many thanks for all who helped out.

Parent’s Night Out for the Sea Isle neighborhood is Saturday, February 14, from 5:00 – 8:00 p.m.  Please see Sheila Owen if you can help.
