Next Grocery Distribution

New Covenant UMC's July Grocery Relief distribution is this Saturday, July 31st, from 9-10am.

The August Angel Food menu is available online. There are several changes from AFM, including lower prices on some popular boxes!

Ordering changes
With New Covenant's worship changing to Saturday evening, our Sunday afternoon ordering times are being phased out. Ordering on distribution Saturday is the most convenient, if you have the money available, then you won't have to make another trip to the church. We also will take orders on other Saturdays during the month, beginning at 5:00pm, prior to the 6:30pm worship time.

If Saturday ordering is not convenient, you may order during the week, but please call first to make sure someone is available.

Online ordering is available 24/7 with a debit or credit card, but there is a $2 convenience fee.
Vision card orders must be done in person.

Advertising
We would like help getting the word out about Angel Food Ministries and New Covenant's Grocery Relief. If you know of a group or business that would be willing to have flyers available, please let me know. We also have general flyers, without a monthly menu, that are available for distribution.

There are changes happening this summer at New Covenant United Methodist Church that will affect our Grocery Relief ministry.

Distribution days will remain on the scheduled Saturday of the month, from 9 am - 10 am. However, order days and times will change.

New Covenant is moving to a Saturday worship celebration service beginning this coming weekend, July 10th. Worship will start at 6:30 pm, and you are welcome to join us!

Due to this change, we are phasing out the Grocery Relief ordering times that began after worship on Sundays. Saturday order times will shift to later in the afternoon, going from 5:00 to 6:30 pm on the appropriate Saturdays. Weekday ordering will remain available when either the pastor or administrative assistant is at the church (please call 943-1884 for availability).

Other news: New Covenant is having an auction on Saturday, July 24, beginning at 10:00 am at 3323 W. Maple. It will include choir robes, sheet music, restaurant items, catering & banquet furnishings, office furniture, craft & youth program items, Bibles, hymnals, many other religious books, podiums, round & rectangular tables, and much more. The preview will be Friday, July 23, from 6:00 - 8:00 pm. See http://tinyurl.com/NCauction for photos, a list of some of the items, and contact info for the auctioneer.
