Knox’s Mission Focus
October 29th, 2011There is a lot going on in the mission and ministry of our congregation. In November, we will have several opportunities to focus on and highlight that work. We are blessed to have so many different ways in which we are involved in mission.
Day Care Spaghetti Dinner (November 12th)
The Day Care and the Church will be sponsoring a Fund Raising Spaghetti Dinner on November 12th here at the church. It will be from 5pm to 7pm. We are asking church members to donate desserts and to help with setup, serving, and cleanup.
Please bring your family to enjoy spaghetti, salad, garlic bread, and dessert. The cost is $6.00 per adult – or $20 per family. If you would like to donate a dessert or volunteer to help please sign up on the sign up sheets on the bulletin.
Funds raised will be used to purchase new software to help the daycare in the management of its day-to-day operations as well as its finances.
Mission Focus: Knox WeCare Day Care (November 13th)
The last six months have brought some substantial changes to our congregation’s primary mission - the Knox WeCare Day Care. We think its about time that everyone hears about them. So, on Sunday, November 13th, during our worship service you will have an opportunity to hear about some of the great things that have been happening with our daycare.
We hope you will come and hear about these changes and that you will learn about the impact the ministry of our daycare is having not only in the lives of families but also in our larger community.
Mission Focus: Olivet Neighborhood Mission (November 20th)
On Sunday, November 20th, Jan Thomas, the director of Olivet Neighborhood Mission, will be sharing during the worship service about the ministry of Olivet. Our church has been a long time supporter of their work in a variety of different ways, so it will be great for us to hear about the impact the mission has been having in its community.
Mission Focus: Helping the Needy in the Community
The Deacons, with your help, will be sponsoring two families for the Thanksgiving Holiday and two families for Christmas. We will be collecting monetary and non-perishable food items for Thanksgiving until Sunday, November 20th. Monetary gifts will be used to purchase additional non-perishable foods and a gift certificate for perishable food items only.
Thank you for contributing in making this Holiday Season brighter for these families in need.
Mission Focus: Share God’s Love around the World
Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child “The Power of a Simple Gift”
Share God’s love and the joy of Christmas by packing a gift-filled shoe box for a hurting child overseas. A shoe box filled with small toys, school supplies, hygiene items, hard candy and lollipops, mints, gum (please place all candy in Ziploc bag), T-shirts, socks, ball caps, sunglasses, hair clips, toy jewelry, watches and flashlights (with extra batteries) can make an eternal difference.
Bring boxes to church by Sunday, November 13th.
