Pantry hours: First, Third and Fifth Saturdays 1:00 – 3:00 p.m.<br />

Last year the CrossPoint Ignite Student Ministries built a raised garden bed and planted<br />
seeds so our Food Pantry Friends could have access to fresh vegetables. This year, the students would like to turn<br />
that project over to another group of volunteers. The Friends who use the Food Pantry will be the primary volunteer<br />
helpers in the garden, but we welcome anyone who wants to help. The garden is located behind the Food Pantry<br />
in the grassy area between the parsonage and parking lot of the Rutherford Campus, 6570 Mifflin Ave., Harrisburg,<br />
PA 17111.<br />
Volunteers will sign up to work in the garden planting seeds, pulling weeds, harvesting, and watering, if necessary.<br />
All of the harvest will be donated to the CrossPoint Food Pantry. There are 22 weeks from spring to fall. So we need<br />
22 individuals or families to each take a slot. You can show up any time during your week. Shawna Raymond has<br />
agreed to plan the garden and coordinate the volunteer schedule. With everyone working a little bit, it won’t require<br />
much time from any of us. To volunteer, sign up on the Communication Card and we will contact you. Here is our<br />
“Wish List” of donations to get us started:<br />
Tools—compost, shovel, hand trowel, cultivator, pruner, bucket, plant markers, stakes/trellis, scissors, twine, neon<br />
orange duct tape, bags for weeds, bags for harvest<br />
Summer Seeds/Plants—Basil, Onions, Scallions, Carrots, Green Peppers, Green Beans, Zucchini, Marigolds,<br />
Tomatoes<br />
Fall Seeds/Plants—Spinach, Lettuce, Kale<br />
For <strong>May</strong>, the Food Pantry is in need of paper goods such as toilet paper, tissue, napkins, and paper towels.<br />
1 ST SUNDAY BREAKFAST<br />
Almost as special as breakfast in bed is FIRST SUNDAY BREAKFAST with the<br />
YOUTH. We have enjoyed providing breakfast to the church and have enjoyed the support<br />
from all campuses. Your generosity as well as your encouragement has meant a lot.<br />
Join us on <strong>May</strong> 6 th for the last first breakfast of this school year. We are hoping to have a<br />
lot of your favorites on hand as we celebrate not only parents and grandparents but our sisters and brothers in the<br />
faith.<br />
Can you believe it – As of <strong>May</strong> 1 st there are only 57 days until CREATION !!<br />
We have had a cost reduction due to an anonymous very generous family who is<br />
underwriting the cost of food for CREATION. Here is the good news – We still<br />
have 4 tickets left. That’s right 57 days to go and we only have 4 tickets left. They<br />
are on a first come first serve basis. If you have already signed up your final payment is due by <strong>May</strong> 30 th. This will<br />
ensure that all arrangements can be made before we leave for this year’s mission trip. Please contact Jio Hardy at<br />
nanajio@verizon.net to reserve your space. The cost is $125 for students and adults and $54.00 for children 6 and<br />
older.
