These need to be at the church by Sunday, October 27.
We'll be doing the same thing for Christmas. We continue to collect blankets, and we need these by December 1. For more information, check out this month's church newsletter. Copies are on the website. Thanks to Elwanda and all the members of the Mission Committee.
