Service MinistryService Ministry This Sunday, February 7 at 2pm, the congregation gathers for an outdoor meeting to approve the2021 church spending budget. At the same time, the Service Ministry group will be conducting itsmonthly collections for The Deep Well Project, the Little Free Pantry, the Thursday Lunch Breakand the CLC Preschool. These groups are all worthy of our combined and continuedsupport. Please read the list of suggested donations and contribute what you can! Bring yourcontributions to the Congregational meeting; signs will be posted in an area of the parking lot.Please consider donating to one or all of these vital ministries---particularly as they support themany food insecure residents of Hilton Head Island. Thank you in advance!
NEXT WEEKS SCHEDULE-- the Service Ministry meeting onTuesday, February 9, is at noon in Heinrich’s Hall!
We are in need of a storage shelf (3 feet wide, up to 6 feet high) to place in the closet in which fooditems for Backpack Buddies and the Little Free Pantry are stored. If anyone has something like thisin your attic and would like to donate it (we want to separate food and non food items for the LFP),please contact Chris Wilcox immediately! 843-342-9711 or [email protected]
FYI: Deep Well supported 707 children from its Santa Shop this season--up 15% from
2019. 23,316 pounds of food (some from CLC) was collected in December alone---up from 11,148pounds in December 2019. There really is an on-going need to assist the food insecure on HiltonHead Island.
Also, The Lunch Break Program continues to make and provide 70 bagged lunches on a weeklybasis. The lunches are given out at church and at various locations on the island. The program alsoprovides 50 lunches every Thursday for the Neighborhood Outreach Connection. An army ofchurch members and friends in the HHI community contribute sandwiches, cookies, and fruit to theLunch Break on a weekly basis.

The Preschool has added 4 new students since our Christmasbreak! It is so rewarding to see our school more than double instudents since we opened in August.
Many thanks to all of you who support the preschool in so manyways. The donated supplies each month are so appreciated, andreally help our budget this year.
Another easy way to help the preschool is to link your HarrisTeeter VIC card to our school. Just tell the cashier when youcheck out that you want to link your card. It only has to be doneonce each year. It's SO EASY!
