Lottie Moon Christmas Offering

DECEMBER MISSIONS FOCUS
Every December, we participate in missions through the Lottie Moon offering. In the 1800s, a missionary named Lottie Moon wrote letters from China urging American churches to fund more overseas workers. After Lottie’s death on the mission field, an offering was started in her name. 100% of the money collected goes to the International Mission Board’s (IMB) effort to make disciples in every nation.

Care /Appreciation Packages

YOUNG ADULT FOCUS
Karen Coburn & Leslie Sine are collecting items for those in the military and college. They are collecting gift cards (for gas or fast food), packaged food items, & home baked items. You can also give cash for postage; give this directly to Karen Coburn. Donations may be brought to church from now through THIS THURSDAY, December 5th. Packages will be available for pick up December 8th.

Hearing Assistance

PLEASE LET US KNOW
We have personal headphones to help you hear more clearly during the service. If you need to use them regularly, a pair of headphones can be assigned to you. Please see Stan Mahurin if interested.
