Extravagant Sharing
Why bring canned pork and beans, ramen noodles and/or boxes of cereal to church in the month of February? By placing these items on the Extravagant Sharing shelves in the church narthex many in our community will have their need for food met at The Emmaus Lutheran Food Pantry in Fountain Square. It is certainly a needed service for so many, and we have the opportunity to reach out to those in need with support and the love of Jesus. Freely give the help so many need. Thank you and God bless your extravagantly giving hearts!
