4th Sunday Dinner & Food Collection
On 4th Sundays during September through May, we gather after worship for a fellowship meal. As part of our eating together we also share what we have by collecting food (canned goods and dry goods) for the United Christian Ministries of Abbeville County (UCMAC) and the food bank at the Ware Shoals Town Hall. UCMAC especially needs us to bring 16oz or 32oz bags of Pinto Beans.
The children gather the food donations from the congregation during the children's sermon time in worship. These food donations are then carried to their destinations by designated volunteers.
