COMMUNITY FOOD PANTRY The Community Food Pantry continues to give out bags every
Thursday with nutritious staples to individuals and families who live in
Winn Parish. They accomplish this task through the work of volunteers
from all over our parish. They operate solely through gifts and
donations from churches, individuals, businesses, and clubs – without
any government funds. Along with food items, they now offer eggs
donated every week from a local business, school uniforms, Christian
books and devotionals, New Testaments, homemade jellies and jams,
an opportunity to pray with a minister, and enhanced choices on the
“Lagniappe” table. Thank you for keeping this local ministry alive.

A Note from Pastor Danny Keyes A little boy received a toy sailboat for his birthday and went to a
nearby park with a pond. He put his sailboat in the water and played
with it along the edge of the water. He became distracted and when
he turned back the wind had suddenly moved the boat beyond his
reach. He stood there desperate and crying. Then, to make matters
even worse, an older boy came by and started throwing rocks toward
his sailboat. His desperation and crying went to an even higher level.
After a few moments he noticed that the boat was moving closer to
the edge of the pond and soon it was back within his reach. He never
realized that the older boy was not throwing at his boat but beyond,
and the waves and ripples gradually pushed the boat back within his
reach.
Do you ever get the feeling that some bully is throwing rocks at
some of your “stuff” in life? Just when things are right where we
want them to be, just when all our plans are fulfilling just like we
desire, something happens. Something like a coronavirus! I do not
believe that God causes these kinds of difficulties but let me
challenge you to consider the possibility that maybe God is using
life’s circumstances to bring us back closer to him. Perhaps it’s not a
bully after all, but someone who loves us more than we can imagine
and He’s just trying to get us back close so we can enjoy and benefit
from all his blessings.
Philippians 4:19 “My God will supply all your needs according to
His riches in glory in Christ Jesus”.
See you soon,

Food Pantry Items Each month we collect food items for the Community Food
Pantry. This month’s “Food of the Month” is lagniappe. We do
ask that all Food Pantry donations go straight to the First
Presbyterian Church for distribution to those in need in our
community during these next few weeks. Also, large paper
grocery bags are appreciated.
