Missions Actions and Emphasis for September 2014

Our Mission Action projects for the month of September are our Church Pantry and Operation Christmas Child.

Replenishing our Church Pantry

Did you know we keep a small church pantry stocked with food for the needy when they come to our church looking for help. It is located near our back entrance inside the kitchenette. You can receive the blessing of feeding people right in our community with the simple donation of food. With colder weather coming we will have a greater need for soups and canned meats.

Operation Christmas Child

The items for the Operation Christmas Child Emphasis for September are T-Shirts, Hard Candy, Lollipops, Mints, Gum, (please place all candy in a Ziploc bag) Sunglasses, Hair Clips, Watches and Flashlights (include extra Batteries). We will be packing our Shoe Boxes in October at the regular WMU Meeting. Please leave any of these items in the Bible Study Office.
