Praise the Lord for the 1603 filledshoeboxes! What a blessing
spirit-
ually and mentally for the children
and what a wonderful activity forus, to put Christmas in the
properperspective.
I had the opportunity to go toBoone Processing Center in
late
November. They process roughly50,000 shoeboxes per day. On
the
days I was there, the boxes were
going to Chad and Burkina Faso,
both countires in Africa. Twothings I saw there: for every
car-ton box of age 2-4 and 10-14,
there are 4 cartons of 59 agegroup. As I was processing
boxes,
many that were marked 5-9 could
have easily been a 10-14 box aswell. Remember that next year
as
you fill shoeboxes to help even thedistribution for all age
groups.
The second thing I saw was whileI was working at the shoebox
hospital. If a box is damaged or
wet (broken bubbles or leakyshampoo bottles), they are sentto
the shoebox hospital. Plastic
boxes were our most frequentpatient. Out of every 20 boxesthat
came our way, 19 were
broken plastic boxes. The lids are
broken or the boxes are broken.All the items have to be taken
out
and repacked into basic un-
wrapped shoeboxes. If you wantto use a plastic box, make sureyou
invest in one that will
withstand the stress and strain of
being in a carton with a minimumof 14 shoeboxes.
Thank you once again for all of
your help this year and dont for-get to bring in empty
shoeboxes
for next year. Linda

Deacon of the Week: Elwood Johnston 434.237.1349
Who is it?A Sunday school teacher asked her class of
kindergarteners to draw pictures of the mangerscene at Bethlehem.
The children quickly and eagerly began to color. The teacher
walked
around the room observing each picture in progress. She was
puzzled by something she saw
in one little boys picture. In one of its corners was a very
plump, jolly-looking fellow.Bobby, whos this person? she asked,
pointing to the portly character.
Why, thats Round John Virgin! Bobby replied.
Many times we are asked, Who is mydeacon?
To help you, we will list the Deacon of
the Week and his list of families in the
WLBC Bulletin ENewsletter. There will
be a complete list posted on the bulletin
board near the church office. This
complete list is alphabetical by your last
name. We hope this will help you know
who your deacon is for the year. If you
have any questions, please feel free to
contact the church office.
