say, “O that we might see some good!” Lift up the light of thy countenance upon us, O Lord In peace I will both lie down and sleep. For thou alone. O
Lord, makest me dwell in safety. ♦♦♦♦♦ |

Sandwiches Volunteers Needed CHRISTMAS SHOEBOX NEWS Friends, I'd
like to begin with a special quote: "Millions of children around
the world are being impacted by these simple shoebox gifts. One box can touch
not only the child., but their whole family. So, keep packing shoebox gifts!
Thank you and God Bless You!"
Franklin Graham President,
Samaritan's Purse While
delivering shoeboxes that my husband put together for us, I was able to do a
quick count of items that have been donated already in each of the
boxes. I hope the boxes are making things easier for you as you choose
items to buy. Last
week during Fellowship, a few shoebox activities were set up on some of the
tables. It was the very first time that we worked together to decorate
headbands with sparkling gems and packaged scratch and color dinosaur cards
and bookmarks! This
Sunday’s activities will be: making color matching games using craft sticks,
finish packaging more bookmarks, decorating headbands, filling snack bags
with band aides, and, if time permits, gluing pictures to the inside of the
shoebox lids! All are invited to join us! Here
are some items that are still needed for the shoeboxes: ·
All SCHOOL SUPPLIES ·
HYGIENE ITEMS: toothbrushes combs washcloths Band-aids ·
SEWING KIT ITEMS: sewing needles common pins small spools of thread or "preloaded bobbins" - that already have thread
on them ·
CLOTHING FOR ALL AGES: UNDIES, SHORTS, SHIRTS, SOCKS ages 2-4
size 3T -5T ages 5-9
size 6 - 10 ages 12-14 size 12 -14/16 ·
TOYS/GAMES: decks playing cards, small craft kits, Tic Tac Toe Games,
Checkers, 24- & 48-piece Puzzles ·
TOYS FOR GIRLS AND
BOYS: superhero dolls, baby dolls fashion dolls similar to Barbie dolls; small stuffed animals sunglasses watercolor paints paper - lined and blank Dollar
Tree is a great store to buy many of these items! I'm
hearing that Walmart and Target have some great sales too. But I think you
just have to time it right. If
shopping is difficult for you or not your favorite thing to do, money
donations can be given to either Roberta Spencer or Barbara McLaughlin. If
you have any questions or suggestions, please ask either of us.
