The Great Sock and Undies Challenge!!!
|
LAST CALL
! The CIA (Christians in Action) is having a Sock & Undies Challenge at this year’s Trunk or Treat Fall Festival on October 26.
You might ask: What is this??!!!
Through this Sunday, October 20, you are asked to bring in socks and/or underwear for I-58. Any age from toddlers to adults, every size, for male or female.
|
|
NOW HERE COMES THE CHALLENGE AND THE FUN:
There are 4 bags in the Fellowship Hall. Each bag is labeled with the name of a prospective “pie-ee.” (Pastor Ashley, Jon Morris, Barb Combs, Derrick White) The person with the most socks & undies in their bag will win a wonderful prize chosen especially for them!!! The remaining 3 people will be our “pie-ee’s”, meaning you may have an opportunity to throw a pie at these three people during the Trunk or Treat Fall Festival!
Get your socks and undies purchased and fill those bags!!!

When the scholarship recipients exit the program, they are equipped with the skills and experience necessary to be a catalyst of change in their community and country.
This is open to all women of the church.
