Mission Project Cents-ability cans will be collected May 18th. In April, Leslie Pray Circle began participating in the "Cents-ability" project, begun by Presbyterian Women in 1976 to involve individuals and families in a corporate response to world hunger. Members of the congregation--of all ages–are asked to contribute two cents at every meal for a period of five weeks. This simple act is an expression of thanks for what we have received and a commitment to share with others in response to Jesus' command “You give them something to eat." Cans are still available if you would like to participate. On Sunday, May 18, you are asked to return your cans--now full, we hope--and present them as a special offering and an acknowledg-ment of our duty to share God's bounty with others.. ¤ Coffee Memorial Blood Drive.
