We have a NEW ministry project: Bean Bag Sunday! On the first Sunday of each month, please bring a bag (or more!) of dried beans to church. These beans will be donated to Greensboro Urban Ministry, in support of those who are less fortunate. You can place your beans in the designated boxes you'll find in four locations: in the narthex; in the Kincaid Building, on the table outside the Prayer Chapel; at the opposite end of that same hall in the Kincaid Building; and outside the gym, in the KCC.

As well as dried beans, any non-perishable food item is welcomed. For more information on Bean Bag Sunday and other G.U.M. projects, you can contact Marie Slaughter. Marie will be more than happy to assist you in finding your G.U.M. volunteer niche. It might be working at the Cardinal Crossing Food Drives, or helping with collection on Bean Bag Sunday! Whatever the case, your time and efforts are greatly appreciated – not just by our congregation, but by the many people you're helping through Greensboro Urban Ministries.
