Palm Sunday

"I tell you, Peter, before the cock crows this day, you will deny three times that you know me.” - Luke 22:34
This Holy Week let us reflect upon how often we deny that we know Jesus by the ways that we decide to use our time, our talent and our treasure.
MN FoodShare Month  

The Minnesota FoodShare initiative helps raise awareness and donations of nonperishables and dollars for communities across the state. Support of the IOCP Food Shelf during this time is especially critical. More than 3,500 people in our community each year count on the food shelf to supplement their groceries.  During the campaign, cash and in-kind donations allow IOCP to receive a financial allocation from Minnesota FoodShare. This allocation represents a significant portion of IOCP’s annual food shelf budget. Donations of food and dollars must be received by April 5 to be counted toward Minnesota FoodShare.
