Good News from the Food Pantry!

This past Sunday morning, Ingrid Kulick shared with our congregation some news and information concerning how much our food pantry has been able to serve Dutchess County in the year of 2013. God has always been faithful in providing the food and funding required to keep the Food Pantry operating, and there was always a sufficient supply of provisions for every individual family who walked through our doors. Here are some statistics from the food pantry in 2013.

  • The food pantry was open 47 of the 52 Fridays of 2013.
  • Distributed 116,000 lbs. of food.
  • Provided food and provisions for 7,915 families.

Not only has the food pantry been a practical blessing, but a spiritual blessing to those in need. We offer prayer to those who ask, and many have reported back how God answered prayer concerning job situations and needs of healing.

Reach Out Food pantry has been an immense blessing to not only to the individuals and families in need, but also to those who volunteer and sacrifice their time to serve in this ministry. We have over thirty regular volunteers who assist and they have been just as blessed as those who come in need. This ministry has become a staple to Reach Out Church’s local impact, and we are praying to be a continual blessing to our local communities. You can find more information about Reach Out Church Food Pantry here.

Beauty For Ashes…

beautyforashes

Pastor Vic had recently shared a message entitled “Slaying Your Giant”. At the end of the message, the entire congregation was invited to anonymously write down the giants they face in their lives and put what they wrote into a basket. These hardships and struggles were then prayed over by our church leadership and prayer team. Brenda Golden, a member of our prayer team, was inspired by the Holy Spirit to illustrate what God does with these kinds of burdens. This illustration was shared this past Sunday morning, and Brenda also shared a testimony of how God had given her victory over the giants that needed to be confronted in her life throughout the years.

“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me,
Because the Lord has anointed Me
To preach good tidings to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives,
And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord,
And the day of vengeance of our God;
To comfort all who mourn,
To console those who mourn in Zion,
To give them beauty for ashes,
The oil of joy for mourning,
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
That they may be called trees of righteousness,
The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.”

Isaiah 61:1-3
