Pork loin supper is Monday, November 17. There are sign-up sheets on the bulletin board.   We are needing salads and pies and of course people to cook, serve and clean-up.  You may bring your auction items and put them in the Northwest classroom.

It is time to pack shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child! Each box packed full of quality toys, school supplies, and personal care items becomes a tangible expression of God's immense love for the child. For many, it is their first gift ever! Shoebox gifts provide an opportunity to present the Gospel to boys and girls in a clear, child-friendly way. Select a medium to large "wow" item such as a soccer ball with pump or stuffed animal, then fill with other fun toys, school supplies, and personal care items. Do NOT pack any type of food, liquids, breakables, or war-type or scary items. Please note, this year SOAP is NOT accepted either. Don't forget to also include a personal note and photo—sometimes these are the child's favorite things to receive!  A $10 donation per box is requested to cover shipping and handling.

   Our committee will be packing boxes. If you do not want to pack a box, you may donate items for boxes or give a monetary donation to cover shipping. If you have any questions, talk to Rowanna, Kim, Stacie, or Teri.

   The last day to bring a packed box or to make a donation is Sunday, November 23.
