Narrow Door

Lost things can get through - Luke 15:1-32

Pack a Sack

'Have a Heart, Grab a Heart' Month

February marks our 2nd year in partnering with our very own Bridges Preschool. Bridges families have adopted Pack a Sack for the month of February…and we are very grateful.

Last year the school collected OVER 3700 food items for Pack A Sack…it was a lot of fun and really heartwarming to see all these families helping out a ministry that is literally their neighbor. They called it 'Have A Heart, Grab a Heart' and you would have seen collection boxes, and hearts pasted all around the preschool and church. Right away, the Bridges and families collected a ton of food.

This year, you can see the Round 1 collection effort being made by Bridges Preschool in following picture below.

Thank you to Nadia and Jennifer for the support and big hugs to all our Bridges Families.

If you would like to participate, just grab a heart that you may find pasted and drop in one of the Boxes…all are invited to help.

If you have any questions about Pack a Sack or purchasing items, you can always ask me at church on Sunday or feel free to call me Jamie Wright @ 813/967-3800 or contact Shaun Black.
Just a reminder for our Amazon shoppers out there - - Wesley (proceeds go to Pack a Sack) is now part of the AmazonSmile program. And for those of you who do not know about this program – here is information on AmazonSmile:
