Coffee Drive for Faith Kitchen Dover Continues Through February
So far we have already collected over 100 pounds of coffee during January. Let’s beat our donations from last year of 168 pounds! The need for meals and services at Faith Kitchen continues to grow with the most demand during the cold winter months. Faith Kitchen serves meals six days a week. Hot coffee is a welcome addition to those meals. Zion proudly sends a delegation on the first Thursday of each month to prepare and serve a nutritious meal for the hungry who come to Faith Kitchen Dover. Please support this worthy cause with a donation of coffee or by signing up to help prepare a meal. A volunteer will also be needed to transport the coffee at the end of the drive. Please let the office know if you are available to make this trip.
Family Promise
Once again Zion will be hosting families through Family Promise at the CEB during the first two weeks of March. Many volunteers will be needed to make these families welcome. There are many opportunities from preparing meals, eating with guests, staying overnight or just being there to visit, listen and perhaps play a few games with the children. We are attempting a new electronic signup tool this year. An email will follow with directions.
Giving Tree Thank You’s
Lovely hand written notes were received from recipients of the Giving Tree. Look for them displayed at the rear of the church.
Tag Sale to benefit Family Promise
Planning is underway for a town wide tag sale to promote community within the Village of Oldwick and raise funds for Family Promise. It is tentatively planned for the end of April. Look for more information in the next newsletter.
