Adopt a family...

As some of you may know we have adopted a family for the holidays. It is a single mother with 2 boys...one 4 and one 3yrs old. We are going to collecting money and gifts for the family for Christmas and then presenting them with it all on Dec. 22. I was thinking we could try and get together one night next week...either Wed or Thurs to go shopping, this way we don't overlap and get the same gifts for them. I attached the info on the family as well. Also if you can't make it to shop if you want to bring money to Bible Study Tuesday night we can take it there or at Church Sunday. We could really have an impact for Christ with this family...so please pray about giving.

Single Mom named Syreeta
2 kids: Siyon & Jordan

Siyon is a 4 yr old boy who likes soccer,
computers and things he can build. His sizes are: pants 5/6, shirt medium, shoe 12 1/2.

Jordan is a 3 yr old boy who likes airplanes, trucks and cartoon-backyardians. His sizes are: pants 5T,
shirt small, shoe 10 1/2.

Syreeta is 25 years old. Her sizes are: height
5'5", dress size 12, pants 12, shirt large, shoe 8.

This family also needs groceries and a Christmas tree.


Lottie Moon Offering
We are also raising money for the Lottie Moon Offering that goes to help fund international missions. As a class we have set a goal of $1000 (if we could get to $1500 that would be 5% of the Church's goal of $30,000...which would be pretty cool). As Vern mentioned on Sunday this is sacrificial giving and is to be done, not as a substitute to your regular tithe, but in conjunction with it. PLEASE PRAY about this as it is unbelievably important to spreading the message of Christ throughout the world. We can attain this goal with the blessings of The Almighty. If you feel led to give you can give to the secretary at the church or either Laurel or I will be happy to make sure it gets to them. We would like to keep track of how much the class gives, so if you can just ear-mark it as a gift from 1558 that would rock.

We also need to think of a time we can all get together and go ICE SKATING! It runs through December so let’s try and find a day that might work.

I know I have asked before...to no avail...but please post comments on this, this way we can all be in the loop and know what everyone else is thinking!!!

Only for Him,
Evans
