“Gifts for Christmas” Women's Luncheon
Thursday, December 4, at 11:30 a.m.
|
All are invited to a luncheon on Thursday, December 4th at 11:30 in Hager Hall. Christmas music will be performed or played during the meal. Following lunch, the program, “Gifts for Christmas,” will be presented by Pastor Cheryl Schmeling. Her background in Sociology, Theology, Christian Education and Social Work enables her to provide us with special insight about this timely issue. She will show and tell about the impact of gifts and how to recognize them. Everyone is welcome. If you are not a member of a UMW Circle, please call the church office at 913-432-5573 to make a reservation. The cost of lunch is $5. Child care is available by calling the church office by Tuesday morning, December 2nd. Those attending are asked to bring a non-perishable food item or paper items to be given to the JOCO Emergency Food Pantry.

"Cell Phones for Soldiers"
|
|
What About This Old Cell Phone? Two teenagers have a wonderful solution for all of us when we ask this question.
Brittany and Robbie Berquist established “Cell Phones for Soldiers” in 2004. It’s simple, easy and free.
Just deposit your unwanted cell phone in the camouflage box in the West Narthex. For each cell phone
donated, a one hour calling card is sent to a soldier stationed overseas. Minimize weight and help us save on
postage by donating only the cell phone. Batteries, chargers and accessories are not required as the phones
are recycled. From this program more than 400,000 prepaid calling cards have been sent to soldiers.
