Hi Everyone!
Here is our update for the beginning of a new month! Be sure to check out the booth, and our calendar for more information!
WHAT WE’VE BEEN UP TO
A TREMENDOUS THANK-YOU to all the wonderful volunteers who offered their time, creativity, and efforts to make our Shoreline Halloween Family Festival a fantastic event. We had an amazing turn-out, and were able to introduce many people to our church family, show them around the building, and talk to them about what God is doing here! You all made this possible! We also already have some great pictures up on flickr; you can check them out here!
Thank you again! We couldn’t have done it without you!
URGENT NEED – Shoreline Food Pantry
(Thank you for responding, please continue to see what you can give!)
THANK YOU thank you to everyone who brought in food for the food pantry this last week. The result of your giving was AMAZING. It is possibly the first time we have ever had our shelves this full from donations ALONE; usually our Food Pantry coordinator, Bob Peters, has to go to the Monterey County Food Bank and get food from them. However, as times are tough for everyone, their shelves have been empty as well. So… our church family stepped it up, and the result was wonderful. However, within a couple of weeks, most of it will be gone again, and people will go hungry. So, to reiterate what Kevin said on Sunday, let us not forget how privileged we are. Before you leave for church, we encourage you to open up your own food cabinets, look inside, and realize how blessed we are to have them even somewhat filled! Then, if the Lord moves your heart to do so, grab a can or two, bring it to church with you, and drop it in our food pantry bin. All the while, remember that you are giving of what the Lord’s already graciously given you. Or even take the next step further, and next time you are out grocery shopping, pick up one extra of a few items you buy for your own family. If everyone in our church did this, only a couple Sundays a month, our pantry would be stocked! Let’s not forget how blessed we are, and pray about how we can give of what we have to bless others.

As usual, Community Outreach has been as busy as ever serving our community. We wanted to let you know what’s going on with this dynamic ministry as well as how you can roll up your sleeves and get involved!
This past Saturday was February’s Serve Saturday. We shared God’s love for His people by handing out valentines to the residents of the Monterey Pines Convalescent Home, Gateway Center, the women’s shelter, Sunrise Senior Living Home, Windsor Monterey Care Center and several other locations. Everyone involved was so blessed. THANK YOU to those of you who helped with this great event.
Don’t forget that THIS Saturday, February 20th, is the monthly convalescent home visit. Join us for a time of fellowship and worship with these deserving people from 9:45-11:30 am.
The next evening, Sunday, February 21st from 7-8:30 pm is the second women’s shelter visit of the month. Please consider getting involved with this impacting ministry. Come and encourage these women in transition and be blessed yourself.
If you are interested in these or any other opportunities to serve, please contact Megan Huff at mhuff@shorelinechurch.org, Deb Federico at Dfederico@shorelinechurch.org or 831.655.0100 x338.
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8
