I have three requests concerning that week:

  2. Please try to come before November 23.
  3. Drop-off will be in the fellowship hall, not the office. Those in the office are not trained or equipped to collect the boxes.

We look forward to receiving your shoeboxes and thanking God for you and your boxes before we turn in boxes on the 19th and the 23rd.

Have a wonderful Saturday. I thank God for each person who takes time to read TPL.
