A NEW OPPORTUNITY TO HELP
Last week we encouraged you to donate to those suffering the effects of Hurricane Helene in the southeastern part of the U.S. Faith Fellowship is now collecting supplies in partnership with a church in Hickory, North Carolina, which has a connection with one of our church families. The need is still great in this area and will be for several months. Hope Hickory Church is taking local teams into the hardest hit areas every other Saturday to help with clean up and to bring in supplies. The items most needed at this time are: new or gently used blankets, thick and warm as possible; new or gently used coats of all sizes, but especially kid sizes; and water filters, such as ones used for backpacking, survival or emergencies. If you have any of these items, or have the ability to go out and purchase them new, please prayerfully consider making a donation.
We will begin collecting these items here in the church lobby from now through next Sunday, October 27th. Just look for the large boxes labeled "Hurricane Relief".
