It
is the duty of Deacons, first of all, to minister to those
who are in need, to the sick, to the friendless, and to any
who may be in distress, both within and beyond the community
of faith.

T.A.P.C. Food Bank is doing well, however, food is always
needed. The Deacons are investigating "Angel Food Network",
a new method for supplying food to the needy. |

| Angel
Food Ministries, which offers affordable food for everyone,
is managed by Christ Episcopal Church of East Tawas. The food
is pre-ordered at a cost of thirty dollars a month. Each month's
menu is different, but includes fresh and frozen items. Each
month's selection is worth at least twice what is charged. Volunteers
are needed to unload boxes of food during delivery, and to assist
those who need food carried to their cars. Volunteers are needed
from 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on the last Saturday of each month.
Please call 362-3531 if you can help. |

Tawas
F.I.S.H. is also in need of volunteers to answer their

call 362-8788. F.I.S.H. is a non-profit, ecumenical, Christian
organization providing caring service in our area. T.A.P.C.
contributes to F.I.S.H. throughout the year.
