This week, we served 67 families and 198 people.
Your support is needed to build a pool of people to pick up donations from Publix every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Also, help is needed with unloading of the senior boxes that we receive from Feeding the Gulf Coast once a month. You will need to be able to lift 40 pounds.
If you are interested or know of someone who might be interested, please consider getting involved or at least share the opportunity to volunteer with others.
If you have questions or want to want to volunteer, please contact Al Sprouse (251-744-1944) or Jan Taylor (251-978-6418).

Join us as we study “The Gospel of Mark,” which is a deep dive into the second book of the Gospels — a look at the stories and parables, the characters and the events.
We meet at at 8 a.m. in annex room 4.
Here’s a preview:
The Gospel of Mark — Amy-Jill Levine
| ►Adult Sunday school class led by Bill and Catherine | |
Join us as we continue our study in the book of Genesis, Chapter 48. We meet at 8 a.m. in annex room 2.
| ►Youth Sunday school class, led by Sheree Waters | |
The youth Sunday school class meets at 8 a.m. in annex room 3.
| ►Do you love children and enjoy sharing Bible stories? | |
Since we do not have an interim pastor, the preschool is looking for volunteers to share during chapel time at 10 a.m. on Wednesdays. The stories are provided and you would only need to say a prayer and share the story. You could even lead in a song if you would like.
If you are interested in volunteering for a Wednesday, please call or email the church office and let us know.

Thank you for your generous pledges and ongoing offerings. Your support and commitment to Swift Church is greatly appreciated.
