Cans for Communion
In celebration of Holy Communion Suncreek United Methodist Church’s mission committee would like to ask you to consider bringing a canned food item to the mission bins on communion Sundays. Cans for Communion is a way of expressing our thanks for Jesus’ love and sacrifice by reaching out to those in our community who need our help and grace. Your donation to “Cans for Communion” will be delivered to a local food pantry each month.
