Hello Dear Friends,

I can't believe that the Summer is gone and Fall is about to come upon us. These past three months have been filled with busy days and nights. I have spent much time at the Food Pantry trying to help as many people as we can. The needs are great in this area as it is all over. The economy has been hard, and many people have been out of work and more to follow. We have been trying to provide food, clothing, toiletries and Spiritual guidance as it opens up.

We also have been very busy down at the Center we volunteer at. We have had Fathers Day, 4th of July, back to school Parties and just all around fun. We have provided breakfasts, treats, parties, Chu8rch services, clothes, Bibles and Friendship to the Residents.

I have met with a Local Mayor, Congressmen, and News Media to draw attention to the needs that are happening here. I have participated in Back to School back packs and provided 20 - 30 children with much needed school supplies.

We are now looking towards the Fall and Winter months coming ahead of us. The Food Pantry is low and we are going to have a Thanksgiving Feast for the Needy, Homeless, and Destitute. We are praying and knowing that people will come forward and help support our needs.

I have been in contact with the US Aide Dept. trying to help Ministries in other Countries and trying to expand The Church Lady and Friends Outreach Ministries.

We are working and praying to keep our doors open to help. Our prayer list grows longer each day as people contact us to pray for them. Please continue to do so.

We are always looking for those who would like to donate their time or financial help to keep us growing strong.

Please contact us, if you would like to help in some way.

Keep us in your Prayers.

Sincerely,

Pastor Mary Booth Lyons
The Church Lady
