*************************COMMUNICATION CORNER*******************
Did you know we now have a “Sunday School” that is meeting in Mathews
Cottage on Sunday mornings before the adult meeting??? Thanks to Bill Nunan, we now have a program
for children.
About our fellowship: As you
know, our membership is high in quality, but limited in quantity. Please come to Sunday meetings whenever you
can. More is better: more energy, more ideas, more hugs, more
discussion. Your participation is
valued. Hope to see more of you!
Hurrah, SBUF is growing! Take time
to introduce yourself to Russell Jones.
He visited our fellowship in March
and joined the membership.

bag. You never know her strength until
you drop her in hot water.” By Nancy

WOULD YOU LIKE TO HELP???
Our neighbor/landlord, St
Pauls’United Methodist Church, created the Aids Heartline twelve years ago. An all volunteer staff works to provide food
services to those infected and provides food to spouses and children of those
infected as well. They also continue
with support to those who need durable medical equipment.
Another program at the church is called Project Needs. This program offers dinner every Tuesday evening and provides a
Thursday morning pantry. The pantry
provides groceries to 100 family units every week. The clientele continues to change, and includes more families
with children every month. Ten per cent
of the recipients are senior citizens.
Alan Shawn Feinstein, a Rhode Island philanthropist was
founder of the HUNGER PROGRAM. In his
challenge to agencies to end hunger, he is offering to match any funds collected
by food banks and food pantries all over the country. These funds must be collected in March and April.
If you would like to
contribute to either one or both the these local programs, which operate in our
own “front yard”, call Penny Hendricks.
Penny is collecting checks and will present them to the church with a
note of support from the fellowship.
