HELP AVAILABLE
The Women in Faith of our church have been concerned for the seniors in our congregation who need help at times accomplishing chores in their homes but, are not able to do some of those chores now.
The Osceola County Commission on Aging has help available with housekeeping chores, rides for appointments, and meals among other services. Some options require a fee, but grants are also available dependent on income.
If you need help in your home, call 231-734-5559 for more information.
We’re happy to report that our January blood drive successfully exceeded its goal, securing 24 pints of live-giving blood for patients in our community and across the state! Those 24 pints have the potential of impacting or SAVING up to 72 lives!
Thank you to those who donated, and to those who helped in other ways.
Our next drive Is March 20, from 11-4, and we look forward to your support in donating, recruiting donors, and praying for those who are recipients of these wonderful gifts!

The item of the month is canned fruit - any kind and any brand.
You may leave these items AND other non-perishable donations in or near the bin in our church foyer.
A reminder: donated items must be in their original sealed packaging/no open bags or boxes or partially used items. Importantly, they must also display current, non-expired dating for “use by” purposes. The food pantry cannot distribute any item that is past-date and expired. While many items are safe beyond their expiration date, they are not usable by the food pantry and will be discarded.
Please keep in mind, monetary donations are used to purchase food in bulk quantities at a reduced cost. You may give through your church offering -- please mark your gift "Food Pantry." Thank you!
