CAMPBELL'S LABELS OF EDUCATION FINAL DEADLINE

Thank you for all the years you have helped the Preschool Ministry collect labels from Campbell's Soups and other food items to earn free merchandise for our kids. This community program is coming to a close. So clip your coupons and clean out your drawers and bring them to the preschool counter or the church office. The final date to submit UPCs is JANUARY 2, 2018.

TRUNK OR TREAT UPDATE

Thank you to all of our Trunk or Treat volunteers and to those who donated candy. Our church was host to over 1700 people from our church and community. Each child was given a passport to get stamps from each country they visited inside and outside our building. Inside the passport was a gospel presentation and a warm invitation to come back for other opportunities. We want our community to know Jesus and for many, it may be the first time they have ever been inside of our church building. We believe that could be a step in their journey to becoming a Christian.
