Outreach

Continue to save your Campbell Soup and food product labels,  General Mills Education box tops and Farm Fresh receipts.

There will be boxes in all the adult Sunday School Class rooms and near doors in the Family Life Center to drop them in.

These labels and receipts will be used to help our local schools and the Red Bird Mission.

Feed the Homeless

This event provides a marvelous opportunity to be of service while allowing us to become aware of the many blessings we enjoy that are often taken for granted.

Please call the church office at 357-3373 for information about how you can become involved in sharing God's love and Christian fellowship.

Operation Christmas Child

Fill a shoe box full of simple gifts and bring joy and hope to children in desperate situations worldwide.  Here are ways you can make a difference:  
Pray that God will touch the heart of every child who receives a shoe box gift, and that He will bring many children and families to faith in Christ. 
Pack a gift.  A shoe box filled with small toys and other gifts can open hurting hearts to God's love.  Instructional brochures will be available at our church, or you can find everything you need online.  www.samaritanspurse.org/ezgive
Give.  Remember to give $7 or more per box to cover shipping and other project costs.
Volunteer.  Make an eternal impact on the lives of children by using your gifts serving alongside us.  Opportunities range from short-term service in a Processing Center to seasonal involvement as a project leader to year-round roles on a volunteer Area Team.
