Did you Know? Building Space for Community Partners.

Did you know our church offers space to non-profit community partners who are looking for regular, weekly or monthly meeting space? We currently have space available on Saturday mornings for this purpose. We ask groups to contribute a usage fee in order to help offset our operational costs & the group application must be approved by the Trustees. If you know of a group that might be looking for space on Saturday mornings please have them reach out to our church office at 732-747-0446.
Backpack Crew
Tower of Giving

 Join in the fun as we collect food for the Backpack Crew all through the month of January. Bring in as many fruit cups, oatmeal packets, granola bars, and cereal boxes as you can to contribute and our youth will build the donations into a Tower of Giving. Let’s see how big our generosity can grow!  Backpackcrew.org  for more info.
Youth Group
Spaghetti Dinner

Join us, February 8 from 5-7 pm, for a delicious meal of spaghetti, ravioli, or both, topped with meat or meatless sauce. Don’t forget to stop at the bake sale table
for dessert. This all-you-can-eat dinner is available for $5 for children and $12 for adults. Proceeds support our youth mission trip.

JOIN  OUR  TREX ®
CHALLENGE FOR
A GREENER EARTH
WE’RE ALMOST THERE!

 Our TREX® Challenge for a Greener Earth continues now through February 28, 2020.  As of mid-December we have collected 135 garbage bags of plastic weighing 425 lbs! We invite you to join the challenge by bringing in single use plastics (details noted below) to the collection bin at the back door. When we meet our goal of 500 lbs, TREX® will donate an outdoor bench for use on our Pre-K playground and together we will have eliminated un-wanted plastic from our area landfills! Please see Janie Schildge or Bobbie Ridgely (bjridgely@yahoo.com) for more information.

Any plastic marked with a 2 or 4 recycle symbol can be donated. A good rule of thumb is plastic that can be stretched is acceptable, plastic that crinkles is not. Please note, it is VERY IMPORTANT that ALL materials are CLEAN, DRY AND FREE OF FOOD RESIDUE!
