Volunteers gather every Monday to fill bags with food items, for distribution that week on Thursday.
Each week, discussion focuses on a couple of chapters as the group works its way from beginning to end of the selected book. Selections and reading "assignments" are available from coordinator Norm Ferguson, 575-751-0049.
On the first Thursday of each month, committee members get together to write birthday and get-well greetings and make plans for visits or preparing food for parishioners who are ill or homebound. Sharing condolences with parishioners who have lost family members is important. The committee has started a prayer shawl project, and invites knitters to join in knitting the shawls for parishioners who are rehabilitating and recuperating.
Every Thursday afternoon, in the parish hall, food is distributed to individuals in need. Nobody need "qualify" for receiving food.
Food offerings for sharing during the Food Pantry distribution on Thursdays are gathered all month in the big basket in the parish hall. Then on the second Sunday of each month, the food is blessed during the 9:15 service.
We meet either in the sanctuary or outdoors in the parking, depending on weather. Bring your furred or feathered pet, four-legged or otherwise, or just come, to share in honoring our beloved animal companions.
