MATT 25:35 PROJECT UPDATE:
Many thanks to
all who participated in the Matt 25:35 Project dinner and fundraiser on
June 7. That event netted a total of almost $2000 -- enough to supply a
Thursday lunch at Calvin Presbyterian to fifty people for ten weeks.
We had guests from at least three other churches besides APC, including a
representative from the PC (USA) national staff. Project chef James
Mitchell and his co-workers provided a fine summer meal that was enjoyed
by all.
We are grateful for the many local businesses that
donated merchandise and gift certificates for the fundraiser auction.
We are also happy to report that two raised garden beds (similar to
those at APC) have been constructed and planted at Calvin Presbyterian
this spring, thus potentially doubling the amount of fresh garden
produce that can be used to support the nutrition project during the
summer months each year.
We welcome people of all ages to join us
Wednesday evenings from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the Parish House for food,
fellowship, and garden harvesting and upkeep. As the summer proceeds,
we will need lots of volunteers to harvest salad greens, herbs, green
beans, zucchini, tomatoes and peppers. This is a great opportunity for
families and friends to enjoy food, fellowship, and service to God in
an outdoor summer setting!
