CAM NEEDS: Coordinated Assistance Ministries has an ongoing need for per-sonal hygiene items such as soap, toothpaste, deodorant, razors, etc. plus they are currently in need of items such as feminine hygiene products, diapers and toilet paper. If you would like to donate these items, please bring them to the office and we will see that they are transported to CAM.

TABS FOR TREATMENT We can support the fine work of the Ronald McDon-ald House by collecting pop can tabs. Bring your tabs to church and put them in the jar in the foyer. Remember that what we do may seem like a minor effort but it can do so much to help families who are dealing with the serious illness of a child.
