I am proud to say that this year is our 5th year of Linda's Love Blanket Project (in honor of Linda Bright). We will be donating 26 wonderful blankets to our local hospital for hospice patients. As we know, change is often inevitable, but doesn't have to be a bad thing. This year our change was who helped with completing our blankets. It didn't take long for the kind and generous hearts from some of the ladies of our church to offer up to help with the blanket project. Brenda, Ebby, Marci, Coleen, Marge, Jan and Marcia, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Linda would be so proud of your kindness to help get the blankets done. I also have to give a shout out to Alesha Bright and Mariah & Jodie Wettleson. Jodie - WOW 12 blankets is a lot of work and your hardwork is so appreciated! Thank you to Pastor Rick for the wonderful blessing as we wish these blankets to not only provide warmth and comfort, but also love to those who receive one.

God's Love & Blessings, Laurie 

 

Thank you to Laurie for 5 years of heading this project.

 

 

Happy Holidays to Our Church Family,

The Mission’s Team wants to give a Big “Thank You” to our Congregation for the support of Blanket Sunday, which was held on November 20^th.  

Thank you to Chris Moss for 10 years of presenting a program for Blanket Sunday. 

A total of $697.00 was raised for Church World Service (CWS) blanket outreach. For those who still want to give to the Blanket Mission, please mail in or drop off your monetary gift at the Church.  Please remember to put “Blankets” in the memo of your check or label the envelope somewhere with the word Blanket. 

 

Blessings, Mission’s Team

 

 

UWF Fundraiser 

(Also known as “The Nuts”!) 

Our second shipment of 30 cases of nuts and candies arrived on November 16^th. Thank you to everyone who helped on that day and in any way during this annual fundraiser.

We had another successful year! Thanks, also, to all who bought the nuts and candies.

We have some extra packages on hand. If you are interested please contact Marlys or Ardella. 

The profit from this fundraiser allows us to fulfill our Purpose of being in mission to women, youth and children.

God bless you for your faithfulness and generosity.
