Our Next Big Projects!

Our benevolence committee, which brought us the 9/11 EMS dinner, has some more plans for 2010! THREE BIG PROJECTS this fall.

1. We are collecting items for donation through Loving Hearts. From now till November 30th we want to collect cleaning supplies, laundry supplies, kitchen supplies and other house hold items that Loving Hearts is always giving out to those in need. There will be a container in the foyer of the church at 408 East 8th street. If you do not attend our church, but wish to donate items bring them by the office from 8 to 5 week days. Or, come visit on Sunday at 8:30 or 10:15, have a cup of coffee and a snack, and stick around for a great time of worship and encounter with God.

2. We are going to assist with a Christmas Outreach at the Pacific, MO State Penitentiary. we will make a large purchase of soap and shampoo that will be added to gift bags that are being prepared by a team of churches. Those gift bags will be distributed by a team, including some men from our church. Every inmate in the Pacific prison will receive a Christmas gift bag! You can help by going to the institution to help distribute, or you can help put bags together. Keep your eyes open and on the bulletin for those upcoming work dates!

3. We are putting together a food order, so that we can bless several families in our church and area with food at Christmas time. If you would like to help distribute Christmas food boxes in December, please contact me (Pastor Paul) ASAP so that we can plan well for this project.
