Saturday Servants – Our congregation is involved in Saturday Servants in the months of April, September and December when we make sandwiches for those hungry in the community. This ministry grew out of the concern for children who receive free lunch at school to have an opportunity to eat over the weekend. Other churches partner in this effort so that every Saturday lunches are provided to an impoverished community in Anderson.
