January
We are collecting food to fill bags for people in need of food in our Baptist Centers’ community. Items needed are: cans of green vegetables, yellow vegetables, fruit, soup, meat, beans, pasta – also boxes of macaroni and cheese, 2 quart size boxes of powdered milk, cereal, oatmeal, rice, pasta, dry beans, peanut butter, jelly.
Do not bring large cans or boxes of food. Many of the people who benefit from this ministry live alone and don’t need extra large sizes, and most have to lug the overflowing bags home on foot.
Jesus said: “anything you did for one of my brothers here, however humble, you did for me” (

Look full in His wonderful face.
All the things of earth
Will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace.
