Light the Night -- Support for Research on Blood Cancers
The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (also known as Blood Cancer United) is an organization
that helps raise money for awareness and research
about blood cancers. Each year they hold an event called Light the Night. The mission of this event is to
"bring light to the darkness of cancer through research and cures". Stacy Peterson has been the captain of a team each
year since 2012 in honor of her dad, Dan McNace. He lost his battle with Burkitts non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2012.
Each year his family and friends walk in memory of him as well as help raise money for cancer research. This year, Dan's Dream Team invited all of you to join them in helping to eliminate blood cancers by donating to the September Mission of the Month and walking together at Light the Night.
Our thanks to all who participated in the walk. Any Missions donations given to the church in September will be applied to your giving and donated to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
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.
Adel (Good Samaritan) Food Pantry
This month's personal item is toilet paper.
Please place your donation in the marked tub in the church entryway.
