CHRISTMAS IN JULY! Cool off this month by thinking Christmas Closet!

Now we are behind in donations. Drop your items off anytime! Bins are located in the Mission Corner, the Welcome Center Coat Closet, and the outside the Ministry Workshop (unfinished space upstairs). Look for our Christmas tree next Sunday in the Welcome Center for more information about he 4th Annual Community Christmas Closet.
Item of the Month: Mission Central is in need of unused eyeglasses. They send them to parts of the world where the people can not afford to buy glasses for themselves. Please consider any unused eyeglasses you may have to help these less fortunate people. Please place the eyeglasses in the bin marked "Mission Central Item of the Month" located at the end of the hall outside Nursery School rooms (rooms 112-114).
