Branches of Blessings Mission Project
We are keeping this a surprise........
Our children and youth groups want to come together to show love and support for a Church family. We want to help ease some of the family’s everyday burdens while reminding them that they are surrounded by love and prayer. Through our Branches of Blessings project, we are asking families to consider donating a gift card of any amount. Gift cards for groceries, gas, restaurants, Walmart, Amazon, or fun activities for the children would be greatly appreciated.  Our children’s mission groups and youth group will help create a special tree filled with these gifts and heartfelt messages of encouragement for the family on Wednesday, December 2.  If possible, drop your gift cards off in the special drop box labeled in the foyer under the bulletin board by Sunday, November 29.
No gift is too small! Thank you for helping us teach our children what it means to be the hands and feet of Jesus by loving and serving others.

Hearts for Hargrove
All items purchased for the Hearts for Hargrove Christmas Ministry need to be turned in by December 5. Please place all purchased items in the designated collection box located behind the security desk. Please make sure to label each item with the child number it belongs to (for example, Child 1, Child 2, etc.). This is very important to help us ensure every item is sorted and packaged for the correct child. There are still children and gift items than need to be signed up for. See the flyer on the welcome center on how to sign up to help make Christmas special for these children and families.
