This week - let's focus on providing for those in need - particularly those who are struggling to feed their families. Let's participate in mercy work as we strive to eliminate the causes of hunger.

Last Sunday, Hillsdale UMC handed out collection bags for a food drive to benefit the Helping Hand Food Pantry. It is not too late to distribute collection bags to neighbors, family and friends because Hunger Doesn't Take A Vacation. Bags are available in the Narthex and Fellowship Hall. They can be dropped off, any time, in the food bin outside the Pantry entrance on Magnolia Avenue. Your efforts to make a difference in the lives of hungry families during the summer is greatly appreciated!

I continue to ask that you pray for me in the role of Public Theology Advocate as I take a stand for justice. Respond to this blog, or contact me directly, with your thoughts, ideas, and concerns about social justice in the Pascack Valley region.
