• Food Pantry Ministry Closes Today

  After serving the citizens of Wagoner for more than 9 years, the Food Pantry Ministry has ceased operations, effective today.

  

  The Pantry has a long list of faithful volunteers who have worked selfishly to distribute food to the poor. We have seen many, over the years, come to saving faith in Jesus Christ because they were told the Good News while getting food for their family.

  

  And, of course, we have had our trials, difficulties and challenges. But God has always been faithful.

  

  

  We have been told of many wonderful stories from those whom we have helped over the years.

  

  We have seen God heal many that we prayed for along with many other answered prayers, such as, homes, cars, and jobs.

  

  One of the very last people we served today trusted Jesus for salvation!

  

  The volunteers have enjoyed the fellowship of serving alongside others and have enjoyed serving the Lord by serving the people of Wagoner.

  

  The folks whom we served have always been very appreciative of the food that was given.

  

  At the very least, every person who came for food, left with the offer of prayer and an invite to attend church with us. Only a few times in the past 9 years, has anyone refused to be prayed with/for.

  

  A great big “THANK YOU!” to all those who have served over the past 9 years! May God bless you for your faithful service!

• Food Pantry Seeks Donations

  Alan Feinstein has generously offered to distribute one million dollars across America to help with hunger issues.  For the past two years, the Food Pantry Ministry has received a proportional contribution to assist our ministry. 

  Here’s how you can help.  Mr. Feinstein will match contributions made to our food pantry in food or money during the month of March.

  At the end of March, we will apply for matching funds from the Feinstein foundation.  It will be awarded proportionately in competition with other food banks across America.  Bring your contributions of canned goods or other groceries to our food pantry or make your checks payable to ISBC Food Pantry Ministry.

  If you have any questions please call the church office at 918-485-5115
