Save Your Christmas Cards!
 The office of Ministry & Service will be collecting religious Christmas cards this year to donate during the annual summer mission trip to Belize. The goal is to give over 3,000 kids in grades K-8 their first Christmas card next Advent in an effort to help teach them the meaning of the season. New cards are not necessary as the backs will all be torn off and thrown away. You can drop off cards in the office of Ministry & Service any time after the holidays. Thank you for you support!
