Box for Brock – Last Week to Donate!

As many of you know, Diane’s son, Brock, has been deployed to Syria. We would like to bless him with some items he could use. There is a box in the upper foyer where you can put any items you would like to bless him with.  Some items greatly needed are: soups with meats and/or veggies that do not need water added (think pop tops); canned fruit; canned vegetables; canned meats such as Swanson canned chicken; canned tuna in water. (will need a can opener sent along). Sweet treats for him and that he can share with the men. [NO CHOCOLATE] Generic Zyrtec;  toothpaste; Pepto-Bismol chewables; intensive care-type lotions; bath towels; bathroom wipes, etc.  Anything you might think of and are not sure we can send, please see Diane.  She will be able to let you know what can and cannot be sent.  Once our Box for Brock is full, we as a church will ship it to him.  Thinking of you cards would be nice.

Year-End Giving

Please remember to be faithful in the giving of your tithes and offerings during this time of year. As the economy continues to shift and change, our God does not. He is our provider and will always be faithful in providing our needs if we are faithful in our obedience to Him. Also, to be sure that your giving is recorded in 2023, it needs to be received by TODAY. Thank you for your faithfulness!!
