You know what they say about opinions. Lots of people have them. I often find the setup to an opinion has as much influence as the opinion itself. For instance, you could be on a date at a nice restaurant, order a wonderful dish, but have lousy conversation. Your...
When First Pres updated their hymnals from the 1955 edition to the 2013 edition, there were bound to be some changes. Something I noticed right away was it being less impressive than the 1990 edition. The 1990 edition still reigns supreme for me, but I digress. My...
Our lives are organized around several series of repeating patterns: the earth spins day into night and vice versa, the same hours repeat on a clock, the same days repeat week after week, the same months in the year, and the year always repeats with each orbit around...

On Sunday, January 19 and Monday, January 20, Children’s and Youth Ministries will host the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service Community Food and Household Essentials Drive. The MLK Day of Service is an annual event held nationally to encourage communities to take action and build the beloved community MLK spoke of.
All are invited to get involved by dropping off donations in the Lobby at church on Sunday, January 19, before or after worship or by participating in the drive-through community drive on Monday, January 20, from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. Walk-up donations are welcome and we’ll have volunteers available to help unload donations. We hope you can participate! All donations will go to local pantries.
When deciding what to donate, here are some helpful hints:
Household items such as paper towels, toilet paper, dish detergent are not eligible for purchase with a Link card
Consider pop-top lids – sometimes people do not have a can opener
Olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper and other spices can transform a meal
Remember items like Hamburger Helper are only good if you have ground beef
Baking mixes that require only water are good
Coffee is a luxury
Sugar and flour are always needed
Kraft Mac and Cheese requires milk and butter – consider Velveeta that comes with the sauce
Questions about MLK Day, contact Rev. Rebekah Anderson.
