I have fought the good fight,
I have finished the race,
I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7

WILLING HANDS
It’s just over a week until our OCC Work Day on March 4th. I hope you have checked your calendar to see if you are available to give a few hours to missions. Also, if you have some time in the next week to work an hour or two at the church, please let me know.
Thanks to those who are giving so that the shoeboxes can be packed in a few months. We are finding it hard to locate the last 25 calculators we need. If you locate the solar calcculators, please purchase them for us or tell us were you saw them. Also, we have been packaging soap lately. Any brand of soap is acceptable.
With permission and guidance, you can put your “willing hands” to work doing many different tasks. Does your Sunday School room need a refreshing? How about the bulletin board? Are there shelves or drawers that need to be organized? What about a table or area that holds literature? That’s one area to put your “willing hands” to work. Take a look around, find a partner, and get permission. We can all use our “willing hands”.
