We so appreciate this communty and their generousity to its neighbors.

We wanted to thank those that have been putting food items in our Blessings Box but want to caution you to only put non-perishable food and hygene items for donations.  We cannot distribute perishable foods.  The box is filled by our volunteers and there is no set time or day that we service the box.  If you bring items and find the box is full, please drop off at our church office so animals, etc do not destroy your donation if left on the ground.  Thank you again for parterning with us for those in need. We are truly a community growing together.

If you know of someone who is sick or in the hospital or has lost a loved one, or just to let them know they are being thought of, please let me know so a card may be sent to them. They do not have to attend our church. It could be a friend or a co-worker etc. You may contact me by phone or text at 419-771-0795 or email ahickerson55@gmail.com. Alicia Hickerson
