For those of you that bring items, things needed are individually wrapped snack cakes, chips, crackers, Vienna sausage, candy (with sugar or sugar free) drinks (diet & regular), packs of peanuts, etc. You can also give money to this ministry which will be used to buy what is needed. Our Life Care brothers and sisters look forward, with the ‘anticipation of small children’, to the times that they get to select a snack from the cart that is kept supplied by YOU. Thanks again for your love and generosity. Jerry’s Sermon Title & Text Attitudes Toward Worship 1 Corinthians 11:27-29 (NIV) 27 So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. 28 Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup. 29 For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves.
