Circle of Concern feeds the hungry and provides long-term
and emergency assistance to low-income families living in western St Louis
County. St Mark supports this cause
numerous ways through dry donations from our congregation of food, school
supplies, birthday items, adopt a family, etc.
Another way to support Circle of Concern is through financial
donations. This coming September, St Mark Presbyterian will again host the 11th Annual Circle of Concern Charity Golf
Tournament. The entire proceeds
generated from this tournament goes to Circle of Concern. This is a premier event in Circle’s September
“GO ORANGE” campaign to raise awareness of hunger. This charity golf tournament has netted the
following revenue over the last five years:
$5,507, $5,685, $7,484, $9,819, and $8,099. Cash contributions allows Circle of Concern
to purchase items that cannot be generated through dry donations; i.e. dairy
products, meat, frozen food, vegetables, and fruit to name a few.
Please keep on the lookout the next couple of months on how you
can make a ‘cash donation’ to Circle of Concern that will support Circle
through the charity golf tournament. You
do NOT have to play in the tournament to support Circle and this worthy cause;
you can support Circle as a “Sponsor” or “Friend”. You also will have the capability to spread
your total donation out by making a couple of monthly payments to make it
easier.
Proverbs 19:17;
Whoever is generous to poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his
deed.
Thank you and please keep those ‘in need’ in our hearts and
prayers. Personal disasters can happen
to anyone and at any time.
Bob Lienemann, Deacon Moderator and Golf Tournament
Coordinator
