Religious Christmas Cards and Religious Stamps for Prisoners

If you are out-and-about today, maybe you can purchase Christmas cards for inmates that we will deliver to the jail for you. You are requested to put the cards in the envelopes and stamps on the envelopes. Please turn the cards in at the December 6th WMU meeting at Spring Creek or by December 7th at FBC, Kentwood. The cards will be promptly delivered to the jail so they can be sent out to family members in time to Christmas. I know families will be thrilled to hear from a family member unable to attend Christmas family gatherings.

Operation Christmas Child

I often talk about churches packing large numbers of shoeboxes, but I want to invite you to pack boxes on your own too. They can be dropped off at FBC, Kentwood just like the others. Be sure to check back on here or in the Samaritan’s Purse site for the times to turn them in. Boxes packed by individuals receive the same treatment and travel along with those in large groups. Ar the end of their journey, they will be in the hands of a boy or girl somewhere to tell the child and extended family about Jesus and to provide the child with toys, school supplies, etc. For each box you pack you are being a missionary who tells approximately ten others about Jesus.

Don’t forget to prepare your Sunday School lesson from Deuteronomy 28th.

Today, I want to share a quote by Avery D. Miller.

“Hope is patiently waiting espectantly for the intangible to become reality.”

Sometimes a person has to wait a long time. Be patient and wait anyway.

“Verse of the Day”.

May you be both blessed and a blessing to others today!
