Thank you for your generosity and sharing of Christ’s love this winter season. The last day for donations is December 8th.

The American Red Cross is asking all leaders to fill every time slot on the upcoming drives since Hurricane Helene caused drives to be canceled and more blood to be needed when supplies were already low.

Jen will be in the lobby most Sunday’s 9:30 – 9:40 and then from 10:35-10:50, but feel free to call or text Jen to set up your time.  Remember evening appointments will fill up quickly so if you need an evening time contact her soon.

Shoeboxes for your Operation Christmas Child donation are ready to go. They have information about how to pack a box. And they have info on how to make your $10 donation to cover the cost of transportation and support the Greatest Journey program. In addition, PetSmart donated stuffed animals to us last year to share with children. Please take one for your box if you’d like. Thanks to the Youth who wrapped them so that the little stuffies fit better in the GO boxes. We have 125 boxes we can use to share the love of Jesus with children around the world. Please prayerfully consider sending one or two boxes to children who will be blessed by the message of love in your gift. Through your generosity, they may come to salvation through the love of Jesus. Boxes are due on November 3rd. A cart will be set out to collect them next week. If you need more information, please call Mo Theriault
