Library Update

Our church library is still growing. Although we did not any new items this month, keep checking back. There may be more in the near future.

All the 800+ books, videos and teaching materials can be accessed any time the church is open. We hope that many of you will want to come and browse, take home something to read or view and make this a real beneficial part of our minstry to you. When the project is finished there will be comfortable chairs and a study table also for your use. If you would like to become a voluntary librarian, contribute materials, or donate funds or furniture for this project, contact us and we will gladly talk to you about it.

Food Pantry News

HOURS 9-12 Monday & Thursday

The Dixfield Food Pantry was established to meet the temporary needs of the citizens of Dixfield and East Dixfield. Many people have taken advantage of our facilities and we anticipate an even greater need as heating fuel and home expenses remain high. Each month we serve more than thirty families.

We greatly appreciate generous gifts we received from churches, friends and individuals. Through the generous support of many, we are able to distribute fifteen boxes for Thanksgiving. THANK YOU!

We also have a limited supply of clothes and non-food items. Thanks to Carrie Puiia we now have cat and dog food avalibale, generously donated by local stores. In addition there is some inspiring literature available to our clients. And it's all FREE!

NEW! We want to develop a program for those seeking appliances and/or other non-food items and those who have such items they wish to dispose of. Bring a poster, a picture or a clearly written notice and we will post it for others to see. This info exchange will help us serve you better.

As we approach the holiday season there will be increased needs to be filled. How can you help? For fun and easy fund raising ideas write to us and will send you a suggestion sheet.

If you would like to donate to this worthy cause, please send your gift today to 434 Common Road, Dixfield, ME 04224 or bring it with you when you visit us to see the building the Lord has provided.

Thank you

We have long partnered with the Good Shepherd Food Bank to supply us with much of our food. The Dixfield Food Pantry has now partnered with Ample Harvest. For more information go to AmpleHarvest.org.
