OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD – Every year we are blessed to be able to join with Samaritan’s Purse and fill “Shoe Boxes” with toys, school supplies, and personal care items for children in need around the world. These special boxes are joyfully received by boys and girls from 2-14 years of age. For some children this is the first gift they have ever received and others the only gift they will get. Whether sending or receiving, those touched by Operation Christmas Child testify to the power of a gift-filled shoebox given in Jesus’ name. Boxes are on the table in the narthex. There is also a brochure that explains exactly how to fill them. All boxes must be returned to LCOOS by the end of worship on Sunday November 22nd. No boxes can be accepted after that. If you have any questions, please speak with Heather Nault.

NEEDS: We have a family moving into the house next door to the church. We need an electric stove. We have been blessed with a washer and dryer. If you can help with this in any way, please let Pam know. Thank you
Speaking of “The House Next Door”… We want to “Name” the house next door. It’s a beautiful ministry that has blessed and will continue to be a blessing to those in need. This is where you come in. It needs a name. Please pray about it. Then either write it down and put it in the suggestion box on the table in the narthex or send it to Pam via email. The deadline is the 30th of November. We will then take all the names and vote on them. The one with the most votes wins. If there is a tie, Pastor will be the tie breaker.
Karen Malkin is asking if we would please put our jack o’ lanterns and unwanted pumpkin parts by her black bin with yellow top. It’s located out by the storage shed right as you come in the church? The animals love them!
