End 68 Advent Countdown
During the advent season the Missions ministry hopes you will participate in a Waiting for Christmas Advent Activity. Each day between now and Christmas, place an item needed by the children in End 68 Hours of Hunger in bags which can be found in your pew at worship.
The bags should be returned by January 1 so they can be used for the children when they return from their Christmas holiday. Lists of needed items are in the bags.
And of course, you may also donate via our Amazon wish list or write a check to help out some of the 700 kids we are now feeding every week. Thanks and enjoy the wait!
