Hunger Doesn't Take the Summer Off food driveEvery summer the congregation accepts monetary and in-kind donations through our "Hunger Doesn't Take the Summer Off" food drive. During school vacations, food insecurity increases as families are not able to rely on school meal programs. To help the helpers, we delivered 110 pounds of food and also a monetary donation to the Survival Center. Thank you to everyone who donated.

Thank you to Jeff Folts for making and hanging our new Prayer Box. A lot of people in town walk Main Street. If anyone at anytime would like to share a prayer, they can now do so. There is the option of keeping the prayer private or the prayer can be shared with others during our Sunday worship. The public prayers will be collected on Sunday mornings. Please share the news.  The church is collecting food as part of the national food drive sponsored by the US Postal workers. Non-perishable food items will be accepted through Sunday, May 3rd.
As prices continue to climb and services for the poor continue to be slashed, a record 40% of Massachusetts households are now reporting food insecurity. This means 1.12 million Massachusetts household did not have reliable access to food last year, a rate that's up 37% from 2024. This is our current reality. Let us live into our faith by sharing with those who are suffering. (Matthew 25:37, 40) https://about.usps.com/what/corporate-social-responsibility/activities/nalc-food-drive.htm The church is the collection point for all these donation sites. We are also a collection site during our Sunday Services. We began our collection on February 1st and we will collect again on February 8th. Non-perishable food items are being accepted. And thank you for your Christian generosity to our neighbours, whoever they may be, wherever they're from.  There is an urgent need for food donations to the Amherst Survival Center. Accordingly, food donations will be accepted at the MLK Day Program, and will then be delivered that day to the Survival Center. Thank you for attending, and thank you for your kind donation.  |
