You can honor the memory of a loved one or give thanks for the blessings in your life by having a poinsettia placed on the Altar for the Christmas Services. All names will be printed in the Christmas bulletins. The cost is $20 for one poinsettia and you can list as many names as you want. Orders need to be received by December 20th (names received after the deadline will not be printed in the bulletin) Ordering envelopes are on the flower table in the hallway and also on the usher table

 

Teens for Jeans

The Problem: Over a million young people experience homelessness in the US every year. One item they often request? A pair of jeans.
The Solution: Donate your gently used jeans (any size! Teens come in all shapes and sizes!). Tell your friends and family to donate to this worthy cause and help make a change in young peoples’ lives this winter. Put them in the box in the hallway and we’ll take them to a local shelter.

Jeans are the perfect item to donate. They can be worn multiple times between washes, can be dressed up or dressed down, and provide a sense of normalcy to the person wearing them. You’ll be directly providing an essential clothing item for youth in need.  Thanks so much, Emma Wagner
