….fixing our eyes on Jesus,

the pioneer and perfecter of faith.

For the joy set before him he endured the cross,

scorning its shame,

and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Operation Christmas Child – https://www.samaritanspurse.org/operation-christmas-child/shoebox-stories-denis-and-a-cowboy

I was given some cash to shop for someone.  Thanks to a thrifty shopper we were able to buy bars of soap, enough to complete shopping for all the soap needed this year.  Thanks to the donor.  Thanks to the shopper.  If you would like a lady to shop for you, feel free to give cash.  Many more items are needed and you can be a part by contributing once or monthly.  You will help to make special memories for a child like Denis.

Children in Action and Mission Friends had the first meeting Wednesday.  We had some precious children who were anxious to sing, do, learn, pray, listen, etc.  We will meet again Wednesday at 6:00 P.M. in the L-wing.  Bring your children so they can be a part.

 

Have a great day tomorrow remembering and thanking God for the freedoms we have in America.
