LELAND

Our new sermon series entitled "Leland" runs August 1st through the 15th.  During these three weeks we will be reaching out and showing the love of Jesus in practical, hands-on ways in the Leland community.  We want to be faithful with what we have been given and start our impact in a laser focused way (Matthew 25: 21).  We will be collecting food for Manna Ministries, volunteering at Community Home Care & Hospice, and collecting school items for teachers at Lincoln Elementary School.  So continue to come back as we add updated lists of needs.  If there is anything we have forgotten or if you need more information, please let us know.  We are collecting food, school supply and/or money donations every Sunday thru August 15th during our 11am service.  The lists for what we are collecting for the school and Manna Ministries are below.

1) Manna Ministries

EXAMPLES OF ITEMS NEEDED:
 
• Canned meats (tuna, stew, chili, Spam, salmon, etc.)
• Canned or dry beans (pinto, navy, kidney, pork and beans, baked, etc.)
• Peanut butter
• Cereal, oatmeal and grits
• Canned vegetables and fruit
• Fruit juices in boxes
• Boxed potatoes

Money donations are also greatly appreciated (checks can be made out to Brunswick Family Assistance). Receipts for your money donations will be available.

AREAS OF NEED AND PRAYER: 
 
POD replacement - They just lost their POD that they were generously allowed to use for two years. They're using one of the classrooms for storage, as of today.
 
Freezer - They have one large chest freezer and would like to get another. They just loaded up 600 pounds of chicken at $0.39 per pound.
 
Food - You have the list. They can buy in bulk at wholesale if they have cash. If anything, cereal and peanut butter are the most needed. Canned veggies are not needed, because that's what everyone gives.

Volunteer help for distribution is always welcomed.
