Because of your generosity, many of our neighbors will have good food for Christmas. On the first Sunday of each month, we take up a second offering for the Rector’s discretionary account. This account is used by Jane to assist our neighbors who find themselves in a financial pinch. From your contributions to the discretionary account, our outreach committee has generously filled five storage buckets with food for five families at CJ Hicks for Christmas. In addition, we have made a $250 donation to Rockdale Emergency Relief who will provide lunch materials during Christmas break for children in our community. In addition, the Food Fight has resulted in bountiful donations to help fill the shelves at RER. Thank you for giving, it makes a difference for our neighbors. Thanks to outreach for making this happen. Beverly Gulstone, Jackie Cummins, and Tomma Stone delivered 5 bins of shelf stable food to be distributed to families of C J Hicks. Also included were hams, bread, and a new book for each of the 38 children in the pre-K classes. Blessings to all who contributed to Rev. Jane’s discretionary fund, for you made these donations possible. Also MANY thanks to Ian Cummins And Naile Gulstone for their muscled help.
