We are very busy at the Blessing Boxes these last few weeks leading up to Christmas as our neighbors brace the cold weather and endure long nights. Please keep our community members in your prayers this holiday season!
Community Ministries has partnered with our Family Ministries' team to incorporate an item to bring each week during Advent to church to serve our community members in need. In the Advent devotional, Advent at Home, is the following text:
When you give someone a high five, how much joy does that bring you? As you give high fives this week, remember our friends and neighbors who need to keep their hands warm during the winter months. Bring a pair of gloves to church and pray for our community members who don't have adequate heating.
I invite your family to bring along this item each week and place it in the purple bin in the parlor. These items will serve our neighbors at our Blessing Boxes and those outside of our neighborhood too! If you haven't brought your soap or chapstick, feel free to bring those too.
Our Blessing Box needs for this week include:
Food
Hygiene (best deals on hygiene products are usually at Dollar Tree)
- Men's deodorant
