The Church continues to do a great job with helping our active duty military overseas with their grocery shopping. This month, the total value of coupons sent overseas was $15,966.53 - that makes our total over the last seven months $122,405.11.

Please keep in mind that coupons can only be used for six months past their expiration date, so please, no coupons prior to January 1, 2012. It would help if you could clip them, but if not, that's fine as well. Keep up the good work, LCUMC. Your efforts continue to be appreciated by our military families overseas.

During January 2012, we donated nearly $17,000 worth of coupons to RAF Lakenheath. That brings our total since the program began at the end of September 2011 to over $66,000!!! Keep your eyes on the bulletin board in the hallway for updates about this ministry.

Just a reminder - the American Military can only use expired coupons for SIX MONTHS from the expiration date on the coupon. So for our February shipment, we'll can use any expired coupons dated from November 2011 to current. We have to leave enough time for shipment and processing. So, to help with the process, before you leave coupons, it would be much appreciated if you could weed out any older coupons that can't be used. This is a great ministry and the military wives overseas and their families are most appreciative. Thanks everyone - keep 'em coming.

The Coupon Ministry continues to flourish.  Another box was sent this past week totaling $14, 03.47 in coupon savings value for our troops at RAF Lakenheath. 

A warm thank you goes out to all of the members of the congregation that contribute to this ministry and especially to Janie Fritcher for her bags and bags of expired coupons.  Another very special thanks goes out to Sueann Stuck for helping with getting all of those coupons clipped.  This ministry couldn't succeed with everyone's help.  Our total to date is over $41,000!!! 

Please take a look at the bulletin board in the hall for special thanks from the coordinators overseas.  Our efforts are much appreciated.
