Vacation Bible School By Heather Stanley

This summer’s VBS program will be held at the Alexandria Presbyterian Church. "Gospel Light’s Son West Roundup" will be the week of 7/28/14 through 8/1/14 from 9:00-12:00. There will be a charge of $10 per child ($20 cap per family) but no family will be turned away if this is a financial burden.

We are currently rounding up all adult volunteers so we can fulfill our hope of having at least 1 adult from each church at every station (music, games, crafts, snack, bible stories and preschool).

Please Contact Heather Stanley heathersloyer@hotmail.com to volunteer your time for our children!

Food Bank Wish List

Marguerite York

We will have our next food collection on Sunday, March 2,2014. Our

donations are especially important this month because the unusually

cold temperatures are forcing many of our neighbors to choose

between adequate nutrition and keeping their homes at a safe

temperature. The Frenchtown Food Pantry welcomes all donations

of nonperishable food, household paper products, and full-size

personal care items. Currently there is a special need for canned fruit,

chunky-style soups, Dinty Moore® beef stew, salad dressing, laundry

detergent, shampoo, tissues, toilet paper, and paper towels. If you

would like to make a donation but cannot come to church on March

2, please contact Ed and Marguerite York (908-996-3433 or

mkyork0749@gmail.com) and we will arrange to pick up your items.

Thank you.
