A Prayer for Peacemakers
Pastor Jason 
a depiction of John the Baptist
Creator God—
Not a day goes by when you do not invite us to be peacemakers and advocates, Listeners and good Samaritans.
Not a day goes by when we are not asked to be a friend to a stranger
And a neighbor to those in need.
Not a day goes by when we are not asked to be the people you call us to be, And yet, day after day, we lose sight of your hope for this world.
Forgive us for walking a different path,
And grant us the strength to prepare a new way— Your way—here.
Gratefully we pray, Amen.

Holiday Turkeys and Food Boxes
Last year, we began serving Holiday Food Boxes through the Dunn United Ministerial Association Food Pantry in order to partner with other churches in our community. While we used to do food boxes on our own, working with other churches enables us to (1) provide more food boxes to more people, (2) work in unity with other Christians, and (3) support DUMA!
Todd Snyder, our DUMA Food Pantry Director, has asked for our support again. This year, in an effort to better serve folks, we will be able to offer several options with the Food Boxes: Turkey OR Ham OR Pork Loin. As most of us have options when we go to the grocery store, we will now be able to empower those in need by offering them some choice that can best meet their family and health needs!
To contribute to our Holiday Food Boxes, you can:
- Give Online (select Holiday Food Boxes in the Fund List)
- Check via mail or in Sunday offering (write Holiday Food Boxes in the memo)
- Cash via mail or Sunday offering (place in an envelop marked Holiday Food Boxes)
