Sharing Love this Christmas
|

Holiday Missional Giving Menu
- When the holiday spirit hits, most of us like to share our blessings with others in our community. Many of our church organizations and groups organize gifting opportunities for a variety of people. This Sunday we will feature the First Church Backpack Project, Cakes for Katies Kids, and Christmas Angels. See info below.
More opportunities coming up soon include:
- Caring Angels Stockings: Pick up a stocking with a shopping list on November 24 or December 1. Then shop for those items for local senior citizens, fill your stocking and return it to the church by December 8.
- Pastor's Community Assistance Fund: Contributions may be made online at any time and funds are used to help people in crisis.

Our mission for November and December is
Sleep in Heavenly Peace
.
We are collecting new twin-size sheets, blankets, comforters and pillows. Watch for information on our future church-wide mission for Sleep in Heavenly Peace, when volunteers will be constructing twin bunk beds for area children who currently do not have their own bed. New bedding we collect will be given to the children with their new bed! Any money donated will also go to
Sleep in Heavenly Peace.

Poinsettias for Advent
Poinsettias will be used to decorate our Worship Areas during the Advent & Christmas Season. You can dedicate poinsettias in memory or honor of someone special in your life. Dedications will be listed in a special worship guide insert the Sunday before Christmas.
Order forms are also available in the Sanctuary Foyer, FLC and the church office. Just complete the order form and place it in the offering plate, drop it in the basket in the foyer or bring it to the church office during regular office hours. Please make checks payable to FUMC and memo: Poinsettia.
Following the last service on Christmas Eve, these beautiful plants are yours to take home and enjoy.
