Our Global Partners have felt the impact of COVID-19 in many ways. Some were stranded away from their ministry home or had their home service in the U.S. cut short. This November as we collect for the Global Partner Christmas Gift we ask you keep all of our Partners in your prayers. The funds we collect will be distributed as an expression of our appreciation to the Global Partners and the many countries in which they serve. These gifts will not be tax deductible. Please mark a separate envelope with the gift title under ‘Other’ and put it in the offering box. Alternatively, you can give online here, or using the church REALM database. Select ‘Other Projects’ and insert the gift title into the memo box that appears.
If you haven’t already packed an Operation Christmas Child shoebox, now is the time to do so! Printed shoeboxes may be picked up in the library to fill, or you can use your own. Drop off packed boxes in the library by next Sunday, November 22. A $9 donation for each box is requested to cover the cost of processing shipping, and sending Gospel materials. Donate online here or by mail with the postage paid envelope found in the “How to Pack a Shoebox” flyer, in the library. No time to shop? You can “Build a Shoebox” online in just a few minutes and personalize it with a photo and brief note. For more information please contact Pam Wilkinson.
Global Partners
Our Global Ministries Team are regularly communicating with our Partners as often as possible. Currently they are all in good health and either at home or in a safe location. If you would like an electronic copy of the weekly Global Partner Prayer Sheet, please contact the church office.
