Sunday, July 1st @ 10am Service
We will be welcoming Rev. Cora to her first Sunday at Central with a traditional “pounding.”
For those of you not old enough or Southern enough to know what this means, it’s where you bring staple items a family needs to stock their kitchen. This used to be a very traditional thing to do when welcoming a new pastor or clergy member and it’s awesome!
Just bring a “pound” (or bag) of a non-perisable staple or other item you know a new homeowner will need to church on July 1st and we’ll make sure Rev. Cora gets off to a good start in her new home.
Some ideas would be:
- Flour, sugar, salt, pasta, beans, legumes
- Cleaning products, sponges, mop, broom
- Toilet paper, paper towels, kitchen towels
- Coffee, tea, condiments
- Canned goods–soup, sauces, etc.
Contact the Church office with any questions, and if you’d like more background on a “pounding,” here’a good article from the Effingham Herald.
