Sharing Christ’s Compassion in Action
What is Harvest Sunday?
Harvest Sunday — the last Sunday of each month (and the third Sunday in December) — is a day to share the compassion of Christ with those in need throughout the communities surrounding the Main Line. Families are feeling the strain of ongoing shortages and rising costs. Those who rely on SNAP (formerly Food Stamps) are especially affected, with benefits not always stretching far enough to cover basic needs. As followers of Jesus, we believe that caring for those in challenging circumstances isn’t just an act of kindness — it’s part of our calling.
What can I do?
We invite you to bring new, non-expired, non-perishable food items as an act of worship. You can place them in specific bins in the Lobby or Welcome Center. You can also bring them forward during the offering to the foot of the platform. All food collected will be distributed to various food pantries that Church of the Saviour partners with through our members and Church Plants — ministries where we’ve been privileged to lock arms in Kingdom work and serve those in need together. Commonly needed items include:
- Canned meats (tuna, chicken)
- Canned vegetables & fruits
- Peanut butter & jelly
- Pasta, sauce, & tomato sauce
- Rice & beans
- Canned or boxed potatoes
- Cereal & oatmeal
- Canned soups and stews
- Shelf-stable milk & juice
- Crackers
- Baby food & formula
