When the Hebrews were wandering in the wilderness, they began to complain about having nothing to eat.  And God sent manna—bread from heaven—to sustain them (Exodus 16).  When God’s people feared that God had abandoned them, God sent them food to nourish them and also to remind them of God’s presence with them.  Every time they sat down to a meal of the bread that God had provided, they were assured that God had not forgotten them.

Elise Moss established the Manna Ministry as a result of the comfort, love and sustenance she felt during her struggle with cancer.  Manna Ministry seeks to ensure that Trinity members and friends who do not have small groups, such as Sunday School classes, UMW Circles, and Bible study groups, to support them in times of need would also know God’s presence and love in the form of a simple casserole.

We need your help in two ways:

First, if you are aware of someone who would appreciate a Manna casserole, please let us know.  These could be people who:

• Are returning home after a hospital stay or surgery
• Suffering from a long-term or chronic illness
• Caring for a sick loved one
• Grieving the loss of a loved one
• Celebrating the birth of a new child.

Second, we need people to help with the Manna ministry.  This includes people who are willing to:

• Donate a casserole for the freezer
• Deliver food from time to time
• Donate money for necessary items

You are invited to be a part of the Manna ministry.
