PROJECT BARNABAS

   Due to your generous contributions of material and sheets, we are able to ship: 7,700 Quilt blocks, 59 Sheets and 18 Pillow cases to missions. We are in need of more cotton material to cut into quilt blocks, as well as sheets and pillow cases for use in their hospitals. Our most pressing need is to have more volunteers to cut the quilt blocks. We meet on the first Monday of the month in the Fellowship Hall from 9-11:30 a.m. (unless it’s a holiday) then we meet on Tuesday. The next meeting is Monday, March 1, 2010! If you have any questions contact Linda White or Maggie Ray.

MISSION ANNOUNCEMENTS

   Oakdale Christian Academy in Jackson, KY is collecting “Box Tops $ - Education” coupons. These coupons can be found on most Betty Crocker and General Mills products. They are redeemed by the school for much-needed equipment. You can help by collecting and placing them in the envelope marked “Oakdale” on the Welcome Center. Thank you!

   The Missions Committee would like to have a display of the children that our congregation supports through Child Care Ministries. If you would be willing to lend the picture of your child or children for awhile, please put your name on the back of the picture and place in the container provided on the Welcome Center or give to Virginia Beard. Thanks so much.

COLLECTING SMALL SIZE TOILETRIES

   We are collecting small sizes of lotion, shampoo, and soap (the type that are used in hotels). Kay Stotts-Godoy, missionary to Latin America, can use these in a variety of ways. We recently sent 741 items, but more are needed. Please leave at the Welcome Center. See Maggie Ray or Virginia Beard if you have questions.
