Ramen Noodles - Applesauce - Fruit Cups - Pop Tarts - Vienna Sausages
Also today we will start to collect money and ask for donations for Operation Christmas Child. As we go into this holiday season and we start thinking of buying gifts, remember there are kids around the world that will not receive any. So we are asking for you to help us fill as many shoeboxes as we can. We can do the shopping for you if you want to donate money or bring items in for the shoeboxes. We will gather after Sunday School on November 13th to pack the shoeboxes and have some fellowship time. Please see Donna or Dorothy if you have any questions.
