Advent/Grace Youth – The combined Advent / Grace Youth Group is sponsoring a service project which is ongoing now. We will be creating food bags for TABLE which is a non-profit in Carrboro that provides food for children with food insecurities in Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools. You can support the project by bringing in some of the following items: We are collecting clean plastic grocery bags, one pound bags of rice, one pound bags of pinto beans, cans of tuna or chicken, juice boxes, and individually packaged snacks like granola bars, crackers, raisins, or trail mix. We will be packing the food bags on March 15 after worship service.
