The Holidays Are Upon Us

Because of the economy being the way that it is,I am already receiving calls for assistance at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Please consider making a Thanksgiving Basket for a needy family. There is a sign up sheet in the fellowship hall along with a list of suggestions for filling the basket.(on the card table with the Christmas shoebox sign-up). As soon as I recieve the boxes for the baskets I will make sure that you get one. If you have cans for Joe and Cleo during the month of November, please bring them to church and give them to Miriam. Your Care Minister is in the process of finding a nursing home and using their clients for our Angel Tree, (more to come on this endeavor).
A prayer for us to give us strength and peace sometimes when things get hectic.
"Lord, there is nothing better than knowing you and your love. I am sorry I am so easily swayed by all the information that comes at me every day. Today keep my eyes on you, my mind seeking you, and heart filled with you-- and then I will have peace. Amen." Blessings, Your Care Minister, Miriam

The Care Ministry Is Downsizing

I hope all of you visit my blog often as we have all of the Care Ministry goings on on one page. You can go to my blog and receive what ever information you may need, if you don't find an answer, please see me so we can help. The Care Ministry has down sized to just one room as we are making room for the childrens' and youth ministries. Our needs at present are food for the pantry, jeans, t-shirts, sweatshirts, socks, etc. for the homeless. Please take all other items to the Waterfront mission or Loaves and Fishes. We will start gathering items in April 2010for the yard sale. We would like to thank all of the volunteers who helped with the yard sale on October 17th. You all are very much appreciated. We couldn't accomplish anything without you. Thank you Dusty Joe and Cleo for an outstanding job on the Pet Blessing this year and especially for the great flyball demonstration. We have the Christmas shoebox area set up in the Fellowship Hall,so that you may start packing your shoeboxes. Please return the shoeboxes by November 22nd. The Care Ministry is undecided about Christmas and Thanksgiving this year but will enlist the Council of Ministries at tomorrow's meeting. Thank you for all that you do to give to many many people in the Pensacola area. Blessings, Your Care Minister, Miriam
