EPISCOPAL FEEDING MINISTRY: Several volunteers from the former Episcopal Food Pantry continue to prepare, deliver, and/or serve meals periodically to residents of the Helping Hands Homeless Shelter, Contact Ministries, Salvation Army, and the St. Luke’s Feed the Children Group. Volunteers come from all three of Springfield’s Episcopal churches. All expenses are paid from donations. Last year’s expenditures were approximately $2000 - not including the cost of food bought by volunteers who did not seek reimbursement. Donations are always welcome (and are a deductable item if you itemize deductions on your 1040 income tax form). Checks made out to the "Episcopal Feeding Ministry" may be sent to the group’s treasurer, Bill Crompton, at 2409 Hazlett Ln., Springfield, 62707. Thank you!

MINISTRY ASSISTANTS Needed: At the present time, we are GREATLY in need of Chalice Bearers, Greeters and Welcome Center Assistants for both worship services. If interested in helping in any of these important ministries, please call Tammy in the Parish Office. Thank you!
