January 2010
GAP Ministry of the Month
The ministry of the month for January will focus on the Kitchen Set Up Ministry. January is a great month to clean out and organize your cupboards. Do you have an extra sauce pan or skillet? How about extra silverware cups or dishes? All items for the kitchen ministry should be dropped off at the 2nd Street Community Church office located at 504 E. First Street. As always, items should be clean, something that you would give to a friend.
