The Missions Ministry is requesting the entire Congregation to participate in “Project Blessing Bag”!
We are asking that our members keep a “Blessing Bag” in your car* in case you see someone in need.  You can make these up with items from the Dollar Tree such as gloves, thermal socks, beef sticks, crackers, candy bars, toothpaste, toothbrushes, wipes, deodorant, snacks and other items that may help someone who is homeless or in a bad way.  It is just a thoughtful, inspiring thing to do.  Random acts of kindness.
All that we ask is that you let us (Deaconess Donna Wilson) know when you give someone a “Blessing Bag” so that we are able to quantify the outreach of this project.
Thanking you with Jesus’ joy.
