Christmas at the County Jail
The
SS class taught by Bill Miller
is hosting a hat, glove and coat drive throughout the month of
December. Please bring in your new hats and gloves and hang them on the tree in
the fellowship hall. We will also be taking gently used or new coats,
especially for children. Put those in
the red tub. These items can be taken by any teachers who have students that
could use them or if you or your children have a friend or family member that
needs something, please feel free to take it for them. Let's warm some hearts
this Christmas and winter!
The next
Red Cross Blood
Drive is Jan. 8, 2018 .

Or if you didn’t use them and want to start, let her know that, too.
