CHAPEL OFFERINGS FOR OCTOBER
We will be designating our offerings for October to Orphan Grain Train. Orphan Grain Train is currently coordinating relief efforts in Ukraine. Our Current Total is: $27.32
OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
Our students collected offerings in August and September for Operation Christmas Child, a program through Samaritan’s Purse Organization. Shoeboxes of Christmas gifts are sent around the world to bless children in need. We purchased a set of 50 shoe boxes to fill, but we will only be filling some of the boxes at school, so we are offering school families the opportunity to pick up a box and pamphlet in the school office for filling. Each box needs to have one large toy item, small hygiene items and school supplies, as well as a $10 donation to pay for shipping the boxes and adding Bible materials in the child’s language. If you would like to participate, please stop by the school office to pick up a box. Your box needs to be returned to the school by Sunday, November 13th, as national collection week begins on the 14th. We will transport the boxes to Christ Community Church, our local drop off site. Thank you for your assistance! We would love to pack all 50 boxes with our school and church community!

(Costumes are optional, but Fun!) If you’d like to join in the festivities, contact a member of the Evangelism Committee for more details. Anyone who wants to decorate their trunks and participate in the event can sign up on the bulletin board in the narthex. There will be a donation box in the narthex at the church or at the school for candy donations. Monetary donations can be ear-marked on an envelope and put in the collection plate on Sundays.
