This month, we have a special need for:

• Instant Mashed Potatoes

• Spaghetti Sauce – 24 ounce (avoid glass)

• Canned Pasta Meals

• Canned Vegetables – 15 ounce can

• Canned Tuna

• Canned Chicken

• Cereal

These donations go directly to individuals and families in our community striving to move forward but who need a little extra support right now.

How to Give:
You can drop off your donations during our First Friday Food Drive from 3 pm-5 pm at our Warehouse916 on May 1st. Warehouse916 is located behind the Declaration House at 240 Main St. Denver, PA 17517.

Every item you give is more than just food—it reassures someone that they are not alone.

Dear LMC Leader, We are inviting you to pause and pray with the following prompts. As a nation and as a world we are facing significant threats of increased violence and bloodshed. We know that God is sovereign and in control, and we also know that God invites us to pray for peace in the world and for our leaders (Jeremiah 29:7; 1 Timothy 2:1-2). One of our core values in LMC is "Intercultural Embrace - relating to all peoples with God's heart." Let's pray for all peoples around the world and especially leaders in our nation and in Iran during this time of tension and extreme rhetoric. Let's join our Lord Jesus in praying as he taught his disciples to pray, "Father, may Your kingdom come and your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven."
