FOOD MINISTRY SUNDAY IS MAY 3: Thank you for your continued help with our food ministries! Our next Food Ministry Sunday is May 3. The Howard Food Bank accepts food donations that help keep families fed in our area. Our outdoor food pantry continues to be a great service to the community. Monetary and/or food donations of all kinds are appreciated. Checks for the Howard Food Bank may be made out to Howard Food Bank. Checks to help our food pantry may be made out to St. Mark Lutheran and on the memo line write, “Outdoor Pantry.” You also can give online using our online giving platform Tithely.

ST. MARK FOOD PANTRY PARTICIPATING IN CENTRE GIVES: Centre Foundation holds its annual online giving event, Centre Gives, May 6-7, and the St. Mark Food Pantry is participating once again.

The completely online event goes from 8am May 6 to 8pm May 7. To donate to the food pantry during this time, visit centregives.org and search St. Mark Lutheran Food Pantry. There is a minimum $10 donation.

If you do not have a way to go on to the website, you also can donate by calling 814-237-6229. 

As an extra benefit, any organization that participates automatically receives a share of a stretch pool. The amount of the share is based on the total donated to the organization during the 36 hours.

Thanks for your continued support of the food pantry. If you have any questions, contact Pastor David.

YARD SALE RECAP: Thank you to everyone who helped with the yard sale event in April! Thank you for volunteering, setting up, taking down, baking, donating items, supporting, praying, etc. Money from the event is going to help the victims of the fires that happened in our communities that week, as well as for the St. Mark Food Pantry.

Again, thank you for all of your help and support.
