The mitten tree is up in the church sanctuary to collect mittens, scarfs, knit caps, and any item for keeping kids warm this winter. We will be giving them to Vineland, Grandview, and Athena Elementary before the Christmas break, so the last Sunday to donate will be December 10, 2017.

The youth will be taking a love offering for the over 700 foster children in Jefferson County. The money will go to giving them a Christmas Party through the foster care system.

We also plan to help the mothers and children celebrate Christmas at A Safe Place, the women’s shelter. We have had several people volunteer to do extra baking for them. If you would like to donate for Christmas presents or do some baking for them, let me know. The season is always a busy and wonderful time of the year. It is also a time to remember our families who need our help.

Thank you always for your support.
