Receiving a package of Christmas cards, photos, and notes of encouragement will be greatly appreciated by our missionary families! There are three ways that you can support our families this Christmas season:
1) Drop several copies (up to 5) of your Christmas card (or photo Christmas card) in the box set up at the table in the Narthex. It will have a Christmas themed paper covering. Please leave them out of their envelope. If your family name is NOT on the card, sign the card with your family name. You may also add a word of encouragement to them as well. If you only want to send to specific missionaries be sure THEIR name is in the greeting. The photo cards are a wonderful way for these special families to see us again!
OR
2) Take a few of the pre-purchased Christmas cards near the box and sign them (or write a note of Christmas greeting). Return to the mailbox.
The box and extra cards will be available Sunday Nov. 8 through Nov. 29.
Judi and the Friends of Missions will take all of the cards collected and sort them out to each missionary family. If there is no specific name of a missionary, they will be sent one to each family or we will choose a family. We’ll send a package out in early December so they will be received near the Christmas holiday (especially the two foreign missionaries need them sent out early).
3) There will also be an informational card for you to pick up with updated names, addresses and emails of our missionaries so that if you choose to send a card on your own you may do so. There is a special global Christmas wreath stamp at the PO for sending overseas. It costs around $1.10 each.
Judi will be standing near the box if you have any questions about all this! Or email judifikes@gmail.com.
Please consider this, as it’s an easy way to bless our missionary families! We will send out reminders over the next few weeks.
