Pennies from Heaven

Got change? Want to help someone with an emergency? We keep a giant jar marked “Pennies from Heaven” in the church office for your change. The proceeds go to the Pastor’s Discretionary Fund, which is used to help people (members and non-members alike) who have emergencies. Help from this fund remains anonymous; no one except Anita knows who receives help. If you or someone you know has a financial emergency, please contact Pastor Anita.
