MISSION EMPHASES
FOR FEBRUARY: LIVING BREAD MINISTRY AND RANCHO INTERNATIONAL MINISTRIES (RIM)
Living Bread
Ministry is a program started and supported by local churches and managed by
the Salvation Army. The program provides food to the needy in crisis situations
in Ridgecrest and the surrounding area. Please give generously and help our
community feed the hungry.
PROJECT RIM—RANCHO INTERNATIONAL MINISTRIES
Project RIM provides food relief to the people of Zimbabwe. For $5.00 you can feed a family of 4 for a month. 100% of your donation will go towards purchasing food.
Food fOR the Month
This year the Missions Committee has elected to designated a specific food each month to be provided to the Salvation Army. For the month of February we are asking for Beef Stew. Of course other items are welcome as well. Some of the items that are always needed for the food pantry are: peanut butter, jelly, crackers, spaghetti sauce, spaghetti noodles, macaroni & cheese, canned vegetables, refried beans, canned fruit, cereal, chili, soup, top ramen, and tuna. Please place your items in the blue bucket in the Narthex and they will be taken to the Salvation Army.
PRAYER QUILT FOR CAROL CORLETT
The Nurture Committee has decided that Carol Corlett should have a prayer quilt as a reminder of all those who are thinking and praying for her successful healing from a broken femur. Please take a moment, either before or after the service today, to tie your personal prayer knot on the quilt in the Narthex. When all the prayer knots have been tied, it will be presented to Carol.
MATURANGO MUSEUM CONCERT
The Maturango Museum Concert series will be featuring our very own women’s trio: Kristin Hall, Carol Sakai and Kathy Cummings, on February 11 and 12 beginning at 7:00 pm. The concert will be held in the Winslow Gallery of the Maturango Museum. Seating is limited. Tickets are $10.00. Our church is also sponsoring the February Free Day at the Museum—this Saturday, February 12. Come and visit for free!
