This gift, which is above & beyond our regular giving, will be split between Heifer International & Stop Hunger Now. If you would like to donate to this challenge, please mark your check or envelope Heifer Fund & place it in the offering plate or drop it by the Church Office. Thank you, so much, for your consideration in meeting this goal. Nursery Help - We are looking for people to help us staff our nursery on Sunday mornings. The number of young people we have in the nursery is growing and needless to say, that is a good thing! If you are interested in helping Ms. Joy look after and teach our kids during worship, please contact the church office. You can email druidhillsocala@gmail.com or call 629 -5688. Remember the old adage, many hands make light work. I hope you will consider volunteering to help support this ministry. Children/Youth Refreshments, Sunday Sept. 29 - Since we have a small group of parents of children & youth, we would appreciate your help with donations of refreshments & drinks. If you have any questions, please see Joy Anderson. Thank you - Perhaps you said a prayer, mailed a card, called or stopped to see me after the death of my husband Jim, I could feel your love & concern during those difficult days. God bless you!
