The church will also be having a drive thru meal on Aug. 2 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and you can get your meal at the same time as picking up your sticky buns.

Pathway to Christ Church will also be having a craft and small business vendor fair on Aug. 16 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Vendors of all varieties are invited to set up in a 10′ X 10′ spot at this outside event. A vendor spot will cost $25. You’ll need to bring your own tables and shade canopies. Food will also be available in the church social hall during the vendor fair. The church wants to have a parking lot full of craft vendors and small business vendors for this sale. The church is located at 502 McElhattan Drive, McElhattan.

Save those empty prescription pill bottles for Pathway to Christ Church. Over the next several months, members of the church will be collecting the pill bottles, removing (using WD40) the perscription labels, washing them thoroughly to make sure all of the label and sticky residue has been removed and then sending the clean bottles and caps to M2M in Blue Ash, Ohio.

The church would like to find someone who may be traveling close to the area of Blue Ash, Ohio, who would be willing to drop off a box or two of pill bottles so that the expense of mailing them isn’t needed. If you are going to be traveling in that area please reach out to the church office.

Matthew 25 Ministries accepts the donations of clean, empty, recapped plastic pill bottles for inclusion in shipments of medical supplies. For more info visit Matthew 2 Ministries.

Pathway to Christ Church is also collecting boxes of Cheerios that will be given to the Jersey Shore Care and Share food pantry at St. John Lutheran Church. The food pantry has a goal to get 900 boxes of Cheerios before the end of October.
