PRESTON FOOD BANK
Preston Food Bank is making a huge impact, supporting 200 families each week and creating special care bags for women, children, shut-ins, and more each month. To help them continue this vital work, they are in need of plastic and paper shopping bags, magazines, and egg cartons. If you’d like to contribute, please place your donations in the cardboard box located in the church kitchen. Sally Williams will be collecting items every Sunday. Thank you for helping make a difference in our community!

WORSHIP SONG - MARCH
As we deepen our understanding of prayer, we begin to see more clearly how and where God is at work in our daily lives. With open eyes and hearts, we become increasingly aware of His presence and glory all around us.
You Are Glorious by Charity Gayle
