RECYCLING: Do you have empty ink cartridges lying around? Let us help you be green. We recycle empty cartridges and receive $3 per cartridge, which we then use for ink and paper. Bring them with you on Sunday and drop them in the box! Thanks!
WINTER COATS: Many of the SEC Food Pantry clients do not have proper winter outerwear. If you have coats you’re not using, please consider donating them to the Sparta Ecumenical Food Pantry. You may drop them off there or here at church.
FINANCIAL COUNTERS NEEDED: There have been some changes in folks’ lives and we are looking for TWO more folks to help with the counting and reporting on Sunday mornings. The process happens at 11:30 AM & folks are usually done by 12:30 PM. We are trying to have folks count no more than once a month. Please prayerfully think about this and contact Pastor Tina if you can help.
