Young Women Service Project
It’s that time of year again and The Young Women are teaming up with Samaritan’s Purse to send Christmas boxes to kids in 3rd world countries. The Young Woman did this service project last year and really enjoyed it so have decided to do it again. Your donations last year really helped us make this service project a success.
If you’re looking for ways to donate this Christmas Season this is a great opportunity. We are asking for donations for shipping the boxes and to help us fill the boxes with gifts for the kids. We have a goal of 50 shoeboxes. If you would like to donate to this cause please Venmo Sabrina Ward with donations.
(The cost of each box is about $25.)
We can’t wait to see where our boxes end up and to share our love of Christ with these kids.
Thanks for your support!

Thought of the Week
by Michael Cox
This week for Come, Follow Me we are studying the Epistles to Philippians and Colossians. These epistles, while short in length, are long in great teachings of the reality of the divinity of Jesus Christ as the Messiah and the Creator. These epistles were likely written during Paul’s 1st Roman imprisonment around 62 AD during (or after) Acts 28:30. The recipient of Philippians was the church at Phipippi which was the first church established in Europe, as recounted in Acts 16. In these two epistles Paul strives to teach us that we need to give up the things of this world and become a follower of Christ. If we do these things we can overcome any challenge we run into. Jesus gave up all that He had acquired in the premortal world to come to earth as a baby in a lowly family in very humble circumstances so that He could save all of us. Paul’s invitation is that we give up the evils of this world so that we can gain a reward in heaven with Jesus.
