MISSIONS COMMITTEE
The Mission committee is collecting used men's jeans and work khakis
in good condition sizes 34 and 36. They are also in need of men's hats
and shirt and long sleeve T-shirts. They will also be collecting women's
and children's summer clothes only in all sizes. All donations will be
used for the Migrant Ministry in June. Please drop off your donations
to the church office.

Disciple Now weekend is just around the corner.

This year during our mission time we are going to
be giving out coats, jackets, and underwear to
needy families. This is a great way to minister to
the families in our community who do not have
these essential needs for the winter months. If you
would be willing, we are accepting donations of
like new or new coats or jackets for all sizes. Also,
we will be accepting donations for elementary aged
boys and girls underwear. The number of kids
attending our elementary schools without
underwear is alarming. So this is your way to have
a hand in DNOW 2017. You can bring donations to
the church office.
