“Encourage each other every day while it is ‘today.’”
~Hebrews 3:13a NCV~
David’s sister-in-law has both parents, Mr. and Mrs. Elwood Courtney of Holden, hospitalized in Baton Rouge. Please pray for them, their family, and for the medical staff caring for them.
Resa Birch DeLee is hospitalized in Greensburg, not Baton Rouge. Please add your prayers for her and her family. (Thanks to Yvonne Birch for the correction.)
Please continue to pray for Mr. Bud Callihan. He will have another procedure when he gets better. He’s at home for now. Pray for his family as you pray for him.
Walker Wilbanks, the football player who got sick on the field Friday night, passed away. Please pray for his family, his school, and all those who knew him.
Majel Dean has started making tote bags to hold clothes, toys, or even the OCC shoeboxes later. She needs help with fabric, ribbon, and cutting. Each tote requires a 12.5 inch by 40 inch rectangle. She could also use some grogain ribbon and cotton clothesline cording, etc. for the ties. Each tote requires two pieces 33 inches long for the tie. If you can help, please bring the fabric and cording to FBC, Kentwood. The totes will be folded and placed inside the totes until the children get their boxes.
I hope you have found a way to create something for the boxes. If you need ideas check out some of the OCC sites on Pinterest. There are still “ornaments” on the Christmas tree at church if you would like to purchase some gifts for the boys and girls.
One young man selected his ornaments and then enlisted various family members to help with the purchases. He has been trained to know the importance of missions and the good the shoeboxes do around the world. He involved his family with him. Good training and a wonderful involvement. Do you need to involve a family member, child or youth, in helping others?
