Tied Fleece Blankets

We will be making fleece tie blankets Sunday, February 15, from 2-4 PM in Fellowship Hall. You can help by donating fleece fabric, donating money to buy fleece, helping tie the blankets at the church, or making fleece blankets at home and dropping them off at the church. To donate fleece fabric, for each blanket we need two yards each of two coordinating fleece colors/patterns (a total of four yards per blanket).

Bags for Bidwell
The Bidwell Pantry needs used grocery bags to help pantry guests carry their groceries. The bags can be paper, cloth, or the usual plastic. Since the pantry serves an average of 5,000 individuals a month and each shopper uses 2-3 bags, they need a lot of bags. There's a tub in the church entryway where you can put your donated bags. We plan to continue collecting these throughout the year, so please keep bringing them in.
