Every year, PBF ministers to local children who have one or both parents in prison. This year we will serve 20 children by purchasing Christmas gifts in the name of the imprisoned parent. Three gifts will be given to each child: A Bible, Christian story book or devotion book; an article of clothing; and a toy. In addition, every family will receive a food basket. Pick an angel off the tree in the main foyer and buy the gift that is listed for that angel. Or, you may choose to fill a food basket for a family. Baskets may be supplemented with Safeway gift cards. Please do not take any angel or basket off the tree without letting Tonya Kipple know. Gifts must be returned no later than December 9th. Questions? Call Tonya Kipple at 360-692-6549 ext. 15..

Bring a baby gift for Jesus on Sunday, Dec. 2nd to either service!  

Please note there was an error in last week's newsletter. We ask children in grades kindergarten through SIX to bring baby-oriented gifts to be donated to Pregnancy Resource Services, who support women in crisis pregnancy situations. We ask that gifts be wrapped in GIFT BAGS rather than boxes to ease the distribution later. If you have questions, call Cyndie Deare at 360-271-2032. Children will bring the gifts to the front of the sanctuary before being dismissed to their classes. Parents, this is a great opportunity to allow your children to experience the joy of giving. You may consider letting your children do extra chores to earn money for this special gift. Gift suggestions include:

•  Bibs
•  Bottles
•  Pacifiers
•  Lap pads & burp cloths 
•  Baby scissors
•  Baby shampoo
•  Rattles and soft toys 
•  Receiving blankets
•  Crib sheets
•  Sleepers (2T-4T)
•  Onesies (S,M,L)
•  Baby lotion and bath soap 
•  Baby towels & washcloths
•  Toddler socks
•  Baby wipes
•  Baby clippers
•  Disposable diapers size 3,4 & 5

Click this photo for slideshow highlights of our Thanksgiving Eve Service. More than 200 people attended this event, which also marked the end of our 40 Days of Fasting in Solidarity with the Poor. Learn more about that here.  By the end of this time of reflection and living in empathy with the poor, PBF donated 15,000 meals and $17,000 to the people of the Dominican Republic.
