WAYS TO GIVE THIS HOLIDAY SEASON!
A Happy Thanksgiving and a Merry Christmas to you. Thank you for considering these ways to
give
this Holiday Season to those in our community who are in need.
Below you will see THREE options to give. One Globally and Two locally. We hope you will be able to join us.
If you have further questions about any one of these, please contact Pastor Todd at toddw@firstchurch.org.
May the Hope and Joy that our newborn Savior, Jesus Christ brings —fill you this Holiday season and in the New Year!
OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world. Through this project, Samaritan’s Purse partners with the local church worldwide to share the Good News of Jesus Christ and make disciples of the nations.
Come on by to the church and collect a box or two. You and/or your family can go shopping to fill the box.
(Click HERE for ideas and Directions.)
RETURN the box and the label provided as well as the $9 shipping fee by NOVEMBER 21.
Or if you would like to fill and send a box via the ONLINE Method, please click HERE!
IRIS DONATIONS
Refugee
families who arrive from overseas come to the U.S. with virtually no
material possessions.
They have lost homes, friends, family, country,
culture, and jobs. Most do not speak any English.
They have no income,
and many are victims of trauma, with physical or mental health needs.
As great as their initial needs are, their potential to enrich our community is even greater.
HERE IS A LIST OF HIGH NEEDS THAT THEY HAVE FOR THE FAMILIES:
- TWIN SIZE; Sheet Sets, Blankets and Comforters
- Tea Kettles
- Full Dish sets ONLY
- Sets of drinking glasses
- Curtains (No Transparent or Sheer, ONLY Opaque)
- Socks, for all ages and genders
ALL ITEMS MUST BE NEW, THANK YOU.
