January Crisis Control
The requested item for January from Crisis Control Ministry is "TOILET PAPER". Strange request? No. There are some items that do not qualify for purchase with food stamps and this is one. You know how expensive it is when you purchase it for your home. Let's all contribute our share to help those in need. Place your contributions in the white box in the Education Foyer.
Thanks,
Becky Minnix
Youth Activities!
Hello all!
January marks the beginning of a new year, and in the spirit of new beginnings, we will be talking about Creation
on Wednesday nights and Sunday mornings. We will ask questions like: What does it mean to be created in the image of God? What is our responsibility toward Creation? And how can Creation help us connect with God?
We will have a lock-in at the church from
January 5th at 8:30 pm to
January 6th at 9 am.
If you would like to provide food for the youth or would like to volunteer in any way, please don't hesitate to reach out via phone
(828) 713-2570 or email
mundkm12@wfu.edu.
Peace!

New Communion Mobile Food Pantry needs
Peanut Butter & Jelly
It's peanut butter and jelly time! FCC members have been asked to make peanut butter and jelly a permanent staple in your grocery carts to help stock the mobile food truck on a regular basis. Please make sure they are in plastic containers so they do not break. We are making a difference in helping to feed hungry people in our community! Keep up the good work! Check out the New Communion bulletin board across from Taylor Hall for volunteer opportunities and the distribution schedule.
Samaritan Ministries
The shelter has a year-round list of needs that are always appreciated. They especially have shortages of men's deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste, razors, and socks. Food items are canned meats and #10 size canned fruits, vegetables and applesauce. Please place your items next to the white bin in the foyer outside the office or in the church office.
