Urgent Matter

Hi friends,

As you may know it was brought to our congregation's attention last week that there is a family of seven in our community that is in urgent need of assistance (mother with 6 kids). In short, this mother has mounting overdue bills that she is unable to pay, there is no food, and there are no plans for any Christmas celebration due to the financial situation. The great news is that God has been faithful over the past week to provide financial assistance in large enough measure to cover the outstanding bills, and Christmas presents have been provided for all of the children (YAY GOD!!!) which brings me to the reason for writing this to you. The Way would like to fill up their cupboards with food for the Holidays. We're holding a food drive for them this Sunday (12/20). We're asking for anyone and everyone to give can goods, storable grocery items, and/or grocery gift cards as they are able. We'd like to have it all by Sunday so that we can deliver it to this mother for use on Christmas week and thoughout the holiday season. Can you check your pantry for a donation? Can you ask your friends and neighbors to do that as well?

If you do not or cannot attend The Way this Sunday at L.E.S. at 10:30am and would like to make a donation, please contact me and I will make arrangements to meet you to pick up those items.

And a friendly reminder about our Christmas Eve service. The Way will be gathering at the Wimmerton Community Center at 7pm. We invite you and all of your friends and relatives to join us. It's gonna be a relaxing evening celebrating the arrival of the Christ child.

Thank you for your continued support of the ministries of The Way. God bless you.
Grace and Peace be with you.
