Merry Christmas to our Missionaries
Merry Christmas to our Missionaries
Come write a note or just sign your name to some beautiful Christmas Cards Sunday November 5th or 12th after both services in the Chapel. We will have cards and pens available for you to use. Feel free to take a card and write on it and return it to us later that morning—or if you have your own card that you would like to mail with a family picture, we would be glad to enclose it with the others. Last year we did this at the Christmas dinner and the response of our missionaries was wonderful. They loved the cards and encouragement but we felt we mailed them too late to be there before Christmas so we are getting it out earlier this year. Come join us in the chapel after service and see if you can get cards signed for all eleven missionaries!!! Your Christmas cards will already be partly done for this year! See you all in the Chapel – Your Missions Committee.
