Little Free Pantry
Donations from the parish are welcome. Put them in the box in Vail Hall. The pantry was generously donated by Gustavo Gutierrez and Janie Glade, a long-time friend of Annunciation, who will also maintain it. DONATION GUIDELINES: Food should be in easy-open containers that don’t require a can opener. We also need travel-sized toothpaste, toothbrushes, small packs of wet wipes and diapers, Ensure for infants and adults, and small packets of dry food such as cereal.

The BLACK TEAM has come back! The Gold Team pulled ahead two short weeks ago, and this week the Black Team fought back! This Sunday, Easter Day is the LAST CHANCE you have to donate and win points for your team! The Black Team currently beats the Gold team by 8 items. If you are a musician or sit on the the Narthex side on the church, you are on the GOLD team. Everyone else on the Jena St. side of the church, you are on the BLACK team. Which team is the most generous? Also, there are 37 items that were left on the pew in the hallway last week in brown paper Robert's bags with no team indicated. Did you leave them? (Be honest, God knows.) If so, let Karen know so your team gets credit!
