Second Sunday
The Family Services Ministry at Providence Presbyterian Church is a new focus of the Mission & Outreach Team. We will be collecting donations of items needed by Family Services, Inc, 2002 Broad Ave, on the second Sunday of each month. Please check our website under “What’s Happening” to see a list of the items most needed for each month.
Soup on Saturday
On the third Saturday of each month we offer a free luncheon to the entire community. It runs from 11:30 – 1pm. Meals include a variety of soups, drinks, and desserts; and sandwiches are available depending on the month. Come for good food and fellowship. We hope to see you there!
Third Sunday
The Food Bank Ministry at Providence Presbyterian Church is currently a focus of the Mission & Outreach Team.
The Team has asked the congregation to help with this ministry by making donations of canned goods and other non-perishable food stuffs. Also, monetary donations are being accepted. The Mission & Outreach Team will focus on the third Sunday of every month, however, they will accept donations anytime.
At this tough economical time we need to reach deeper to help our neighbors.
Overseas Coupon Program
Our church is participating in the Overseas Coupon Program. Help us support our military families overseas by bringing in coupons which we will then mail to a military base on foreign soil. Coupon exchanges are often offered by military family support centers; and overseas military grocery stores (commissaries) often will take manufacturer’s cents-off coupons past their printed expiration dates (up to six months). Having these coupons reduces the financial burdens on military families. We have adopted Yokosuka Naval Base as the base to which we will send the coupons we collect.
