• ​Save the date! – Our next Pantry meeting is Sunday 10/22, 11:15 after the church service, in the upstairs Annex meeting room.  If you are curious about the Stroudwater Food Pantry, this is a great opportunity to find out what we do!  We will be talking about accomplishments so far this year, upcoming events, and volunteers needed to support new and ongoing activities.
• The Pantry Prayer Ministry has proven to be a blessing and healing for our clients on Sundays.   This week one person made a decision for Christ, praise the Lord!  If you have a heart to pray for others, see Adam or myself to join us in an opportunity to minister to the spiritual needs of our community.
