(taken from John 21: 15-17) Feed My Sheep is All Saints' outreach project for our local food pantries Bluffton Self Help and The Deep Well Project. For August they are asking for "Canned Vegetables." Grocery stores run specials every week ... pick up one or two items each time you go and bring them to church on Sunday. Contributions can be placed in the wicker basket located in the narthex.
