However, we do hope to preserve some of our beloved traditions even as we must gather this year in an online virtual space.

Please join us for the reading of the Christmas Story, carols, and candles.

First Sunday Food Pantry Day (6 December 2020)

This Sunday (6 December 2020), Melissa Lewis will be at All Souls from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM to collect monthly contributions for the Noel United Methodist Church Food Pantry.

Requested donations for this month:

  • Jiffy Cornbread Mix
  • Canned green beans
  • Canned cranberry sauce.

Of course, any and all non-expired non-perishable food is accepted but these are the items they are specifically requesting this month.

There are lots of hungry people in our area right now and both Noel and Highland Center Ministries are two organizations that we support are working to feed them.

If you can’t get out to do this, please consider a donation to one of these food-centered non-profits.

Noel Food Pantry has been our “Give Away the Plate” recipient for November  2020 and their Amazon Wish List is here.

You may also give online to the Food Bank of Northwest Louisiana which provides much of the food for Noel Food Pantry, the Highland Blessing Dinner, and other non-profits who to reduce food insecurity in our community.
