Please add your donations to the food pantry to the box at the back of the sanctuary.

We are collecting mittens, hats, socks and underwear for our tree in the sanctuary. We will donate the items to Franklin CAP after the service on January 8.

A note from the children of RE:

Thank you for all of the items we have already gathered for the “away from home bags.” We will continue to gather items until the end of January. These are bags for children birth through age 18 who must leave their house in a hurry for whatever reason; whether it is natural disaster or a foster care situation.
