Your ministry throughout the year, whether as a shopper or a food deliverer, ensures that those in need have nutritious meals and the necessities of daily life. Please consider picking up an extra item or two when you are next at the grocery store and leave it on the counter in the church kitchen. Items in short supply this week are canned vegetables, canned tomatoes, spaghetti sauce, canned fruit and toilet paper. Our delivery volunteer for this week is Jean Hadfield. <em>"When did I see you hungry and feed you or thirsty and give you drink?... I tell you when you did it for the least of these my brothers and sisters, you did it for me."</em></font></p> </blockquote> </td> <td align="center" valign="top" rowspan="2" height="450" width="164"> <table width="160" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" bordercolor="#000000" height="406"> <tr> <td height="165" align="right"><b><img src="smwin.jpg" width="161" height="165" border="1"></b></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" align="center" height="240"><b><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><br> Worship Services</font></b> <p align="center"><b><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Sundays<br> </font></b><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">8 a.m. - Holy Eucharist<br> (Rite I)<br> 9:15 to 10 a.m. - <br> Sunday School and <br> Adult Education<br> 10:15 a.m. - Holy Eucharist<br> (Rite II)<br> Nursery available <br> 8 a.m. through 10:15 service<br> 5:15 p.m. - Evening Prayer</font></p> <p align="center"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><b>Weekdays</b><br> <a href="prayerschedule.htm"><font size="1" color="#9A3334">Click for daytime schedule</font></a><br> <font size="1">5:15 p.m. - Evening Prayer</font></font></p> </td> </tr> </table> <p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1"><a href="http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?address=208%20W%20University%20Ave&city=Champaign&state=IL&zipcode=61820-3912&country=US&title=%3Cb%20class=%22fn%20org%22%3E208%20W%20University%20Ave%3C/b%3E%3Cbr%20/%3E%20%3Cspan%20style=%22display:inline;margin-bottom:0px;%22%20class=%22locality%22%3EChampaign%3C/span%3E,%20%3Cspan%20style=%22display:inline;margin-bottom:0px;%22%20class=%22region%22%3EIL%3C/span%3E%20%3Cspan%20style=%22display:inline;margin-bottom:0px;%22%20class=%22postal-code%22%3E61820-3912%3C/span%3E,%20%20%3Cspan%20style=%22display:inline;margin-bottom:0px;%22%20class=%22country-name%22%3EUS%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E&cid=lfmaplink2&name=&dtype=s" target="_blank"><font color="#9A3334">208 West University Avenue, Champaign, IL 61820</font></a><br> <br> Phone 217-352-9827<br> Fax 217-352-5240<br> <a href="mailto:emec@ameritech.net"><font color="#9A3334">emec@ameritech.net</font></a></font></p> </td> </tr> <tr align="left" valign="top"> <td align="center" valign="bottom" width="551" height="66">&nbsp;</td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>
