CAN you spare a minute...
	Did you know One UCC collects aluminum beverage cans we recycle to help fund our ministry? We will gladly take any aluminum beverage cans you drop off at church. If you wish to drop some off, please call the office (610-777-5211) to arrange a time to do so. **Please note we ONLY accept aluminum beverage cans. Please do not give us your tin cans (pet food cans, fruit cans, etc...)
The Little Food Pantry Continues!
	It’s becoming colder and the Little Food Pantry is needed now more than ever! December means that the temperatures are getting below freezing, so please only place items that don’t have liquid in them or are not in glass containers. Any donations you can make are greatly appreciated. With around a third of our community struggling to make ends meet, any donations, or monetary donations if you don't want to go shopping, are appreciated. Donations can be placed directly in the Little Food Pantry. If the box is full, please place donations inside the church. The Little Food Pantry will be monitored a few times a week to make sure that it is continually stocked. Anyone who is in need may walk up and take what they want/need. If you have any questions, please contact the church office. Thank you for your support!
