Food of the Month

The first Sunday of the month is fresh food time as we supplement the canned and packaged items our Food Bank gets from ACCESS and the Oregon Food Bank.  This October our Food Bank wants to rebuild its inventory of meals in a can — those heat-and-serve canned products such as Spaghetti O’s, ravioli, chili or Dinty Moore Beef Stew. When you shop, in addition to cans, look for the newer heat-and-eat pouch foods.


Choir and Choir Practice

Choir practice is at 5:30 PM on Wednesday evenings in the sanctuary.
