We will be collecting our "Noisy Offering" of change for Feed My
Starving Children (FMSC). This will look a little different this year. Instead of
the kids collecting your loose change we will have the bowls in the
narthex for you to drop your coins in on your way by. FMSC is an
organization that brings food to children in need around the world.
