Thank you for your dedication and generosity to this ministry.

The Feed My Sheep ministry, held at the First Baptist Church, 88 South Street, Pittsfield, and sponsored by UMC Lenox four times a year, stands as a compassionate outreach effort to assist the less fortunate in our community. We extend a heartfelt invitation to volunteers eager to join us in this impactful ministry, offering not only the chance to make new friends but also the profound joy of giving back.

Our commitment to aiding the needy takes shape in the meticulous preparation of meals at UMC Lenox, 6 Holmes Rd, Lenox, starting at 2 pm, culminating in the service of these meals at First Baptist Church at 4:30 pm. The financial means to purchase the food are derived from our church's bake sales at the Tag Sale, held biannually. Your support, whether through donations or purchases at our bake sales, or through monetary contributions, directly translates into sustenance for those experiencing hardship.

We implore you to be a part of this benevolent initiative, recognizing that your involvement not only fosters a sense of community but also provides essential nourishment to those in need. For further details, please contact the church office, use the contact page, or reach out to John Allen at (413) 770-1108 or Shirley Perkins at (413) 442-4738. Your generosity has the power to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those facing challenges.

This monthly service is a thoughtful initiative aimed at bringing the warmth and spirit of our church community to those who wish to participate but may face mobility constraints. Our dedicated team, filled with compassion and a sense of purpose, ensures that the uplifting essence of our communal worship extends beyond the walls of the church. This service at Devonshire Estates reflects our belief in inclusivity, recognizing the value of each individual's connection to faith and community.

By reaching out to Devonshire Estates, we strive to create a sense of belonging and spiritual nourishment for all members of our extended community.
