Prison Ministry- Annually we have supported the Jail Ministry Christmas stocking fund along with other churches. This charity works with the children of whose mothers are incarcerated in efforts to keep them out of jail in the future.
A box is set up in the Narthex of the Church for stretch gloves, small hand toys, individually wrapped candy, and snacks along with any cash donations for the project. THIS WILL RUN FOR ONLY TWO SUNDAYS …Dec. 4 & 11 .…please keep this charity in mind.
BURBARA – This Sunday is St. Barbara’s Day and we encourage those who can make the boiled wheat to ” bring it to share” and enjoy this great custom on a special day.
