Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me,
I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.

Food Pantry Donations
Thanks to all for your continued support of St. Columba’s food pantry outreach mission! For the month of May, we collected a total of 223 pounds of food that was taken to Emmaus House. During the summer, our food pantry contributions become vitally important as children are not receiving breakfast and lunch at school during this time. We will be collecting June’s donations of non-perishable food through and will deliver these donations to The Place of Forsyth County.
We’ll continue with the same list of needs– ‘hearty’ or ‘chunky’ soups, canned or boxed milk, and canned pasta. Other needs include canned vegetables, canned fruit, spaghetti sauce, peanut butter. Donations can be placed in the tubs located next to the welcome table in the narthex.
