SHOEBOX PACKING EVENT – We are fortunate to have received a generous donation which will allow us to pack 300 shoeboxes. (This is in addition to those you pack at home.) The donor asks for our help packing these boxes. The Mission Committee will purchase items for these boxes. We ask the congregation to help pack the boxes during the Sunday School hour on November 8th. Please plan to join in!

SHOEBOX MISSION PROJECT – Our current mission project thru November 15th is packing Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes. Every box is an opportunity to reach a child with the Good News of Jesus Christ. Preprinted shoeboxes are available in the narthex, as well as an idea sheet on the entrance table in the sanctuary. Please rubberband your box to keep it shut. Shipping is $10 per box. Donations for shipping costs are much appreciated.
