COLLECTING FILLERS FOR OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
During the month of February we will be collecting ball caps, toboggans, and gloves that will be donated to Samaritan’s Purse to
use as fillers. They are in great need of sizes for boys and girls ages
10-14. Boxes will be in place for you donations the first of February. Collections for additional filler items will be received in April,
August, and October.
WE NEED YOUR COOPERATION
Please only park in the designated parking
spaces on the East side of the church (saw
mill side). If all the parking spaces are taken
when you get to church, please find another
designated spot. If an emergency vehicle
needs to get into this area, they must have ample room to maneuver.
A fire at our church or at the lumber plant could be devastating if
these emergency vehicles can’t get into where they need to be. Please
help us protect you, our church, and the lumber plant. If you are
physically able, please park in the front parking lot and leave spaces
near the sides of the building open for those who need close access to
the building. Thank you for your help!
