Ice Cream for West Broadway Elementary

Here's another opportunity to be a part of our "ice cream ministry."  The Mission and Outreach Committee needs help to serve ice cream to the 3rd grade class at West Broadway Elementary School on Monday afternoon, May 22nd at 2:00 pm.  Don't expect it to be calm and serene since this is the last week of school, but do expect to have lots of fun!

Letter from Freddie

school busDear friends and Supporters of PACS/HCAC,

We here at PACS are thinking about our youth and the upcoming school year.  Our goal is to help as many students as we can return to school with self-confidence and peace of mind.  We are starting our Back to School Fundraising Program and your substantial contributions in the past have been much appreciated.  We are anticipating to assist approximately 500 students in Hopkins County with their back to school apparel and supplies.  It is because of your compassionate heart and soul that we have been able to help our youth in this capacity over the past 60 plus years.

You may mail your monetary donations to PO Box 427 or drop them off at our office on 130 E. Branch St., Madisonville KY 42431.

Thank you for your generosity!

Freddie Stafford, SCBG/Hopkins County Case Manager

Books Needed

paperback books

 

The ladies at the Hopkins County Jail are requesting nonfiction Christian literature.  Since my supply has dwindled, I am looking for donations.  All books must be paperback.  The ladies especially appreciate Joyce Meyer and Lysa TerKeurst, or books dealing with addiction, forgiveness and self worth.  If you have books to donate, please drop them off at the church office or give them to Peggy on Sunday.  Thank you!

 

Peanut Butter Ministry

Peanut butter is not only good on sandwiches and chocolate bars and crackers and a million other things, it's good for you!  Peanut butter is a great source of protein, so our Mission and Outreach Committee has promised to deliver a ton of peanut butter to the Christian Food Bank of Hopkins County each month (just kidding).  There is a basket in the narthex for individual jars, but if you need a forklift to unload your donation, you should probably call ahead.  The CFB will take either smooth or crunchy, and they're not picky about the brand.  We hope you'll join us in this ministry!
