"Blessings" to Ware: Going on Now!

At Longview EPC we have the honor of providing weekend meals for children in need at Ware Elementary School.

Only $80 will provide one child with nine non-perishable food items for each weekend of the 2017-2018 school year. If you are willing to sponsor one (or more) children, please send your donation to Longview EPC and write “Blessings” in the memo line. We are asking the Lord to provide enough money by the end of August to bless as many as 100 children!

Also, we need people to pack bags each week. Will you consider grabbing an old friend or making a new one by serving with another person through this ministry? If so, simply contact Terrye Hudson to reserve your spot today!

Thank you for the gifts we have already received! Donations can be made by check or online with check or credit card via the web link - under SERVE - GIVING.
