                      Thanks to everyone who participated in and supported the 10th Annual South of the River CROP Hunger Walk! It was a wonderful day, and Spirit of Life showed up big-time, as you can see by the picture! So far, we are the top fund-raising team as well, and it’s not too late to add to our total; donations for this year’s walk will continue to be accepted until at least mid-December, so if you would still like to support our efforts to end hunger locally and globally, you can donate online at this link, or you can write out a check to Spirit of Life (with CROP Walk in the memo-line) and put it in the offering plate or mail to the office. https://events.crophungerwalk.org/2022/team/spirit-of-life-presbyterian-church

                      From Community Service: we have surpassed 1,000 pounds delivered for the year; garden production is rapidly slowing down, so a final update will be given when we have made our last delivery for the year in October.

                      Our Little Free Pantry continues to be of great service to our hungry neighbors. An anonymous note of appreciation was left this week-see photo. We would appreciate donations to keep our cupboard full. Preferred items at this time include jars of spaghetti sauce, any pasta, bags of plain white rice, any canned vegetables or fruits, peanut butter, jelly, canned tuna, Spam, dry milk. These items and any other non-perishables can be placed in the driveway pantry or left in the cabinet inside the front door to the church. Members of the Community Service committee will refill items when needed and thank you very much for your support and donations. We can make a difference in preventing hunger in our neighborhood!

                      The Justice Works borrowing bookshelf is up and running, so check it out.

                      If you have a prayer request you wish to share with our Spirit Care Prayer Team, please email our deacon, Chris Sachs. Word it as you wish it to be submitted, and we will post it for our prayer team.
