Each year near Christmas, the Deacons fill baskets with food for local families. To help those in and around Sewickley struggling to feed themselves and their families, members of this congregation have donated food and money during the weeks proceeding Christmas each year since 1974. These donations enable the Deacons to assemble food baskets for people in the community who need our help. These baskets are roughly the size of two grocery carts and contain one week's worth of food for a family. What a great way to share the plentiful abundance that the Lord has given to each of us! The distribution of these baskets at Christmas is a wonderful example of the mission work carried out by this church. |
