Lebanon Elementary School. If you are interested in being a part of this ministry please contact Sandi Jordan to volunteer at Concord and Jane Cahaly if you would like to help at Lebanon. We will begin meeting again on Sept. 12- Dec 12 and Jan. 8-April 9th.

Please keep this mission’s work in your prayers. Your prayers are a vital part of this work which allows CEF to reach more and more children who are lost and without hope, with the Gospel of Jesus Christ in Anderson, in the US and throughout the 190 countries in which we serve. If you are unaware of this ministry, contact Donna Rogers, the Anderson Area Ministry Coordinator (864-367-2515).

UNITED WAY OF ANDERSON – SNACK PACK PROGRAM

/in , , /by

UNITED WAY OF ANDERSON – SNACK PACK PROGRAM
United Way of Anderson sponsors a food assistance program for needy children attending elementary school…referred to as the Snack Pack Program. During the 2016/2017 school year, the program provided food bags for 1,000 children each week. The program requires both funding and volunteer support to meet this level of commitment to the Anderson community. The program resumes in July for the 2018/2019 school year and once again volunteers will be needed to prepare the 1,000 food bags that will help ensure that needy children will have food each Saturday and Sunday. Members of the Men in Mission group will be supporting the activity during the 2018/2019 school year. Other members of the congregation are encouraged to participate as well. The United Way coordinator for the Snack Pack program has advised us that volunteer support to prepare the food bags is needed for the following dates: July 6 (9:00 am to 11:00 am); July 13 (9:00 am to 11:00 am); and July 23 (1:00 pm to 3:00 pm). The bags are prepared at the Golden Harvest warehouse located near the I-85/SR 81 interchange. The address of the warehouse is 311 Alliance Parkway, Williamston, SC (behind the McDonald’s on SR 81).
Please let Tom Weeks know if you want to help prepare the food bags during the 2018/2019 school year. At the moment, we only have dates for preparing the food bags for July. The schedule for August should be available in mid to late July and will be announced in the church bulletin. Send questions/responses to Tom Weeks at 864-332-8954 or 864-221-1935 or by email (preferred) at trweeks@juno.com. NOTE: Volunteers are required to wear closed toe shoes while in the warehouse (no sandals).

Saturday Servants – Each Saturday in July

/in , , /by

Again this year HTLC will prepare bag lunches For Anderson Emergency Soup Kitchen through The Saturday Servant Program. There are four Saturdays in July. Each Saturday we will meet in Fellowship Hall at 10:00 a.m. (please note the new time) to prepare 100 peanut butter/jelly sandwiches and 100 bologna sandwiches. Each bag will contain a sandwich, fruit, juice, sweet snack cake and chips. Eight hundred bag lunches will be provided during the month of July.

A big thank you to all who donated food items, now all we need are volunteers to help make the sandwiches.  Every Saturday in the month of July we have our Saturday Servants Program where we help feed those who are hungry in Anderson.  We will gather in Fellowship Hall at 10:00 a.m. to make 200 sandwiches and assemble food bags to be given out.  This takes about 30-45 minutes, depending on the number of volunteers we have.  Then at 11:00 a.m. for those who would like to participate in the distribution of the sandwiches, we carpool over to the Anderson Soup Kitchen located on West Franklin Street.  This takes about 30 minutes.   We begin this Saturday, July 7th.
