There is a basket in the narthex to collect non-perishable canned and boxed (unopened) food for the Wood Street Pantry ministry. Donations are gratefully accepted at any time.  However, the third Sunday of the month especially designated to collect items.  Envelopes are available for cash donations that are used to purchase meat and other needs for the approximately 50 families that visit the pantry every month.

Eternal God, in whose perfect kingdom no sword is drawn but the sword of righteousness, no strength know but the strength of love: So mightily spread abroad your Spirit, that all peoples may be gathered under the banner of the Prince of Peace, as children of one Father; to whom be dominion and glory, now and for ever. Amen (BCP 815)
