WAYS TO MINISTER TO OTHERS
Your old eyeglasses (especially ones for reading) are needed for various mission points.
We are still collecting cartridges from Inkjets and Faxes to help with the church office supplies.
We are continuing to collect the fronts of used greeting cards. (No Christmas Cards, please.)
“Box Tops for Education” and “Campbell’s Labels for Education” are needed by Mid-Western Children’s Home. Only the UPC label is necessary. To save time and shipping expense, please cut the label out before placing them in the box in the hallway.
If you want to help with any of these ongoing ministries, please bring the items and place them in the appropriate containers on the table in the hallway
GLEANER CANS
There are gleaner cans available on the table in the back hallway to collect your loose change to help with the Potter’s Children’s Home.
IN SEARCH OF THE LORD’S WAY
What is the resurrection and when will we be raised? How will the resurrection affect me personally? What kind of body will we have in the resurrection? In this lesson, we’ll explore what the Bible says about resurrection.
Next week’s lesson by Phil Sanders is, “The Resurrection”. The program can be seen locally every Sunday, 7:30a.m. on WTRF-TV, Ch. 7.
