The Christmas Joy Offering supports a variety of needs: The Board of Pension’s income supplement, nursing home care assistance and emergency need grants for retired church workers; the Racial Ethnic Schools and Colleges of the Presbyterian Church (USA); and our church’s special interest missions in Honduras, Nepal and Haiti. You can use the Christmas Offering envelope in your envelope box or the Christmas Joy envelopes found in the pews. Checks should be made payable to our church. Please give with joy!

The GWCM Food Pantry is collecting the following new items:

• Women’s scarves – outdoor types to keep warm and indoor types to accessorize;
• Tote bags – any size;
• Throw blankets – any size.

These will be used as Christmas gifts for the clients of the Food Pantry. Donations can be put in the box provided in the chapel. Thank you in advance for sharing Christmas joy with clients who come to the food pantry.
