New this year: The CROP Rock! THIS SUNDAY!
A new way to participate in the annual CROP Walk is exclusively for those who, for health reasons, cannot walk the three mile CROP Walk route on Sunday, May 5th. This Sunday only, we will have two rocking chairs set up in the coffee room. You can take a turn rocking, while worshipers sign up to sponsor you. It’s a win-win for all! Tens of thousands of CROP Hunger Walkers are committed to building a hunger-free world. Join the movement!
Sponsor one of these SPC walkers:
Samantha & Doug Andrews Rob Whitson Chris Mark
Art & Claudia Graham Robin Hartman Phil Lamoine

This month of April, Southminster and St. Frances of Assisi Catholic Church are collecting items for Hospitality House off the Donations Needed list. We are always welcome to provide items, but twice a year, we are designated to do so. This list is posted in the coffee hour room. I am happy to deliver your donations to the house if you get them to me or to the church.
Remember, it’s easy to shop on Amazon and have your donations delivered directly to HH. Follow this link to view their current wish list. Urgent needs are glass cleaner and Clorox wipes, but they always need paper towels, garbage sacks, TP, etc.
One more thing is for our SPC meal providers. Our next week of home cooked meals for HH will be May 21st - 26th.
