Christmas Card Shower

Christmas Card Shower

We are all probably disappointed as the year of COVID–19 continues. Maybe you are wondering if there is something you can do to boost your own spirit and help spread cheer to others this Christmas and Advent season. Here’s an idea — we can shower others in our church family with Christmas cards. This would allow us to connect and remind those we haven’t been able to see in a while that we are thinking of them.

Sheltered with Love

Sheltered with Love

During this time of shelter-at-home, we have expanded our “Sheltered with Love” list to include more than those who are on our shut-in list. The list has grown to 43 individuals/couples. If you would like to send a card, note or letter to anyone on this expanded list, let Pam Honeychurch know how many, and she will send you that many names/addresses.

Face Masks

Face Masks

As the stay-at-home restrictions are lifted, it’s likely that many kids, in addition to adults, will be out in areas where they will need to wear a mask. There are cloth masks in fun fabrics in the pink bin on the library landing (door #7) at the church for both children and adults and are free to anyone who needs one. The masks are washable, but the ribbons should be removed before washing. Thanks to Susie & Felicity Moffett for making them!
