Thanksgiving and Christmas are almost here. What better way for your family to give to the needy then to put together a shoe box for child. Don’t know what Operation Christmas Child is all about? Well, please click on the link below and let Franklin Graham (Rev. Billy Graham’s son) tell you about it.
Our host church, First Assembly of God, is one of many National drop off centers. They will be collecting boxes from November 16 thru November 22. Please plan on bringing a box or two or three… with you when you come for Competition Night on the 22nd. The Honor Bound Motor Cycle club will just be finishing up packing up crates of boxes to be shipped all over the world.
Many families have each child do a box. The website has a list of appropriate gifts and ones that are not allow. Please review the list. There are also labels that you can print off the website or they are available in the foyer of First Assembly of God. Don’t forget to add a personalized note from your family and a photo. Many families do hear back from the grateful child, it is very exciting to see where your box will end up.

Anyone interesting in helping out with Joseph’s Storehouse Food Pantry can come to 1st Assembly of God between 9:30 and 12:30 today to help unload the delivery truck.
This can count as a 4-H Community Service Project.
Dear Leap Families,
As per announcement made at last business meeting, there is an opportunity to do community service this Thursday around 12 noon at First Assembly of God.
This will involved unloading a truck/van of boxes big and small and taking them to the back food pantry storage room.
Wendy at the food pantry said that she can use help anytime after 9:30 to pack boxes, but the real help is once the truck shows up. Not sure how punctual the delivery truck is. Haven’t actually done this myself, just randomly been there when it was already going on.
So, if you have some spare time Thursday, March 6, at noon, come on over.
Dawn
