The Mitten Tree
will be up in November
The Mitten Tree will return in
November.
We are asking for scarves, mittens, gloves, hats, and even old coats.
These items collected will be used to help Mexican children who have
moved to Nebraska in the Lexington School district. More information to
come.
Coins for Calvin
We continue to ask members to support
“Coins for Calvin” Mission Project
by simply dropping any loose change
they may have in to the jar located
in the sanctuary.
And again the Mission Committee is
also looking to try to match those
funds collected in the jar.
For the next three months the donations
received will go to the Holdrege Food Pantry.
As many of you know, a great many
hands have participated in our
local food pantry. We are blessed
in a community such as ours to have
such a wonderfully located and well
stocked pantry that assist so many people
in our community. So please
give generously with your coins!
Operation Christmas Child
It is that time of year again!
We are asking members to once again begin putting together shoeboxes for the
Samaritan’s Purse
Operation Christmas Child Project.
We will have brochures and information on how to fill a shoe box out in the fellowship hall in a couple of weeks.
Our Church has agreed to be a drop off site for Operation Christmas Child Project. Drop off week will be November 16-23. So we encourage our members to start packing their shoe boxes early!
8 Weeks of Sharing
Due to the generous support of
this congregation over the past two years,
we are looking forward to another successful campaign with our
8 Weeks of Sharing.
We will place a basket in the entry way of the church. For twelve
weeks we will be seeking a variety of food items listed in the
bulletin.
The food items collected will be donated
to the Holdrege Food pantry.
