NIGHT OF SERVICE 11/7
Everyone is invited to take part our first ever Night of Service on Wednesday, November 7th. As a church family we will participate in 2 service mission projects, Together We Rise and Operation Christmas Child. We’ll kick off night with a potluck dinner starting at 5:30 pm. After eating we will get to work our mission projects. This a church-wide effort, no drop off children or youth, please. What a great way to kick off the Christmas season with your family and church friends!
Together We Rise is a service mission project dedicated to helping children entering foster care. When children are taken from their families and put into emergency foster homes, all they are able to take with them is a garbage bag and a few of their belongings. We want to help by giving these children a bag decorated for them. Stencils and paint markers will be provided for you and your family, circle, Sunday school class or other group to decorate the bags. We will be decorating and filling 50 bags!! We will fill the bags with a teddy bear, coloring book/crayons, blanket, a book of the Christmas story, and a hygiene kit.
Operation Shoe Box is a project of Samaritan’s Purse, an international relief organization providing children around the world shoe boxes filled with small toys, hygiene items, and school supplies as a means of reaching out to children in their own communities with the Good News of Jesus Christ. Everyone is asked to collect their shoe box items IN ADVANCE and bring them to our Night of Service to pack in shoe boxes provided by the church. Our goal is to pack 50 shoe boxes. Suggestions on what to purchase for shoe box packing can be found at this link https://www.samaritanspurse.org/operation-christmas-child/what-goes-in-my-shoebox-suggestions/. Operation Shoe box brochures can be found outside of Beth Burden’s office, located near the Fellowship Hall.
