Mission Partner Support
Opportunity
The CEFM Network (formerly Catonsville Emergency Food Ministries) is
having a fundraiser sponsored by Applebee’s Restaurant on Route 40 in
Catonsville on August 14 from 8 a.m. until 10 a.m. It is called a
Flapjack Fundraiser. Tickets are $7 per person and $4.50 for children
and it is all-you-can-eat. Most of the ticket price goes to the CEFM
Network. You can buy tickets directly from the CEFM Network, any of the
board members, or you can pay at the door. President Richard Hiteshew
has tickets, so if you would like to buy some in advance, please mail
your check–made out to CEFM Network–to Richard Hiteshew, 611 Oak Hill
Road, Catonsville, MD 21228. You can also contact Richard on

Blessings in a Backpack!
The Board of Deacons has begun the 2010 Backpacks for Success
campaign in
partnership with Catonsville Emergency Food Ministries
(CEFM).
CEFM has promised 100 families that it will fill their children’s
backpacks with new school supplies. To help CEFM honor that promise,
we, as a
congregation, have committed to fill twenty backpacks for 10 high
school, 5 middle school, and 5
primary school children.
For those who do not wish to shop for school supplies, checks would
be greatly welcomed. Please make checks payable to CPC with “Backpacks
for Success” on the memo line.
