OPPORTUNITIES TO SHARE YOUR BLESSINGS!

We have partnered once again this year with House of Faith to provide Christmas gifts for the underprivileged in their program that attend Crock-ett Elementary and their preschool siblings. Instead of purchasing gifts, they are asking that we adopt the children for a monetary amount. House

of Faith will purchase and wrap all the gifts with the money do-nated for the children. This year, there are 33 children who need to be adopted at $25 each and 11 preschool children who need to be adopted at $10 each. Will you help at least one of these children have a special Christmas? There is a board displayed in the foyer where you can choose a child to adopt. All money needs to be turned in by Sunday, Dec. 4th. The gifts will be given to the children at a Christmas Party at House of Faith where the Gospel will be clearly presented.

$11,000

Items needed— Clothes & shoes for kids ages 4-15 (jeans, shorts, shirts, underwear) Outdoor toys Children’s picture books Basic school supplies Children’s vitamins Personal hygiene (toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss, shampoo, soap) Food items (canned tuna, canned corn beef, canned corn, jellies and jams, instant hot chocolate packages)

FMI: Contact Stacy Stephenson or Ryan Connel

Cawa Cawa Christmas

Our AWANA clubs need our help collecting new or gently used items for the AWANA store. Several times a year, students are allowed to “buy” items from the store with “shares” they earn by completing sections in their workbooks and memorizing scrip-tures. The first Wednesday in December, they have their Christ-mas store and are encouraged to purchase gifts for all their family members and friends. There are collection boxes in the foyer and in the office hallway. If you have any questions,

please contact Vickie LeWallen or the church office.
