Faith in Action
West Bend Church Launches Annual Food Drive Aiming to Top Previous Records
Anonymous
Churches in Westerly and North Stonington are offering worship and community programs, and Christ Church Westerly’s Blessing Box is seeking shelf-stable food and hygiene donations. A St. Louis-area community calendar lists a range of public events. In Slidell, Lamb of God Lutheran Church plans an open-mic fundraiser for One Way Love, which serves at-risk and homeless youth. Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in West Bend has launched its annual Faith in Action food drive and aims to exceed last year’s 5,000-pound collection; it will also assemble 200 kits for foster families and local youth. A separate commentary highlights NFL players Caleb Downs, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Bo Nix for sharing their Christian faith and serving their communities.
