6. Helping Hands
WPC is proud to support Helping Hands Food Pantry, a community outreach food pantry. Check out their Facebook page!  
Helping Hands survives solely on donations.  Besides monetary donations, Helping Hands will accept food items, coupons, and perishable items as well.  They will gladly accept any food donation you'd like to donate. Donations are accepted now at their Main Street location.  
They can always use cans of tuna and/or mac & cheese AND right now they are looking for canned fruit and vegetables! Add these to our shopping cart in the front hall during October.

7. Financial Information
Your Weekly Love will now include financial data to make our congregation aware of income, as it applies to giving.  Each month as the new financial reports come out, we will share our status on regular giving, which you will find in the "Information" section. Please be mindful of fulfilling your pledge.
 As of August 31, 2017, we have received $65, of the budgeted $114,899, which is 56.96% -- there are 3 months left to get to 100%.

8. NOISY CAN OFFERING
The NOISY CAN OFFERING will go to David Howard & family, who are Wycliffe Bible translators. Today about 200 million people do not have the Bible in their own language. Wycliffe's vision is to see the Bible accessible to all people in the language they understand best. To make this vision a reality, Wycliffe also focuses on literacy development, community development and church partnerships. Just a reminder: All donations made by WPC will be doubled.

9. WPC’S MISSIONS TEAM Mission Team: Elders Deb Minturn & Mike Jensen
