How is Our Communion Offering Used?

 Every Sunday we have a basket available for our Communion Offering.  The money that you give is divided three ways and distributed monthly or as needed.  Here is a reminder about where the Communion Offering goes.

One Roof – One Roof serves needy people in our area by providing food, clothing, and other emergency needs.  The Coweta County Food Pantry is housed at One Roof, and clothing and other items are available at the One Roof Thrift Store.  One Roof also has a women’s shelter, The Lodge.
 
Luthersville Senior Center – The Center is housed in an old school in Luthersville. The seniors come together three days a week for sharing devotionals, praying, singing favorite church songs, quilting, having lunch, and offering support to each other.  Cokes Chapel folks visit the center quarterly, taking part in their devotional time and then serving lunch to the group.
            
Needy Family Fund – This part of the offering helps people in our church and community who are having trouble with basic needs such as bills, rent, and food.

Mark your calendars!!
