FARMINGTON FOOD SHELF VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
The Farmington Food Shelf needs more volunteers to help with Saturday rescue pick-up. The rescue food picked up at Target is a vital part of the fresh produce, bakery, and non-perishable items we offer weekly to the many families we serve. Volunteers must have a truck, van, or very large SUV and the ability to lift 45 lbs. repeatedly. We are asking for a commitment of one Saturday per month. Training is provided. Often, couples or a parent and an older child partner to do the pickup. Please email Karen Brownawell at rhpositive03@yahoo.com with questions and/or your interest.
What a Farmington food shelf rescue driver opportunity looks like:
Sign up monthly for the Saturday you are available
Arrive with your vehicle at the Target on Pilot Knob Road at 7am on your Saturday
Load boxes of produce, deli, bread, and other groceries into your vehicle
Deliver the boxes to the Farmington Food Shelf (510 Walnut Street) by 7:40am
Unload boxes, weigh & record temps
Help with breaking down boxes, gathering trash and composting, as needed
Usually done by 8:30-8:45am
LITTLE LAMBS VILLAGE (families with children 0-5 years)
Now Sundays at 10:30am!
Little Lambs Village is moving to a new time this summer!
Join us Sundays after worship at 10:30am for connection, coffee, treats, and conversation with other parents of littles. Come hang out, build community, and connect about all things life, faith, and parenting.

SUMMER WORSHIP SCHEDULE STARTS SUNDAY
9:30 Worship, 8:30 Forum
This summer FLC is trying a new Sunday rhythm. At the suggestion of FLC members and the approval of Council, we will worship together at a single 9:30am worship service (with live stream) this summer. This will connect worshipers who often worship at different worship times, as well as allow time for fellowship & forum (e.g., Bible study) at 8:30am. This schedule will run from June 7 through August 30.
