Thank you to everyone who brought pasta and sauce for the United Christian Ministry spaghetti contest! Collectively, we were able to exceed our goal of providing over 200 spaghetti meals. And last but not least, congratulations to the piano side of the sanctuary for bring the most food items!
A United Christian Ministries Contest
Contest report for week one - Spaghetti boxes 48, while sauce had 45.
Folks, this is just 1/10th of the need!
United Christian Ministries will provide 450 Jackson County school children with food for the long Christmas break. 70% of the children in our schools qualify for free or reduced price breakfasts and lunches. UCM asked the question, "What do these children do over the break?" With the help of the school Social Workers, bags will be distributed before the break. We are to provide spaghetti and spaghetti sauce for the bags. If you sit on the piano side of the sanctuary, bring boxes of spaghetti; if you sit on the organ side of the sanctuary, bring spaghetti sauce. Help "your side" determine which is the "better side"!

United Christian Ministries Needs
Old Mother Hubbard went to her cupboard to get her poor dog a bone. And when she went there, the cupboard was bare.....BARE! How can that be?
For 27 years we have supported UCM's cupboard, helping to feed the hungry of Jackson County. Yes, we do help financially to keep the doors open, but lately our donations of food have been nearly nonexistent.
Make buying a little extra each week as you shop for your groceries a priority. BOGO....give the free one to UCM. Or make certain that you have included 10% of your bill to donate to UCM....spending $60 on yourself while spending $6.00 on UCM.
We have a UCM box in the Kindness room where it is convenient for collecting your food items. Don't let Old Mother Hubbard find it bare!
