NOLA 2014 Fundraising Under Way

There are a number of ways that we can help cover expenses for the NOLA 2014 Mission Team as they prepare for the trip.

Mama's Pizza Fundraiser - Hope for Hollygrove - April 9th from 5-9pm

Stop by Mama's and have some pizza the evening of April 9th! A portion of all purchases made will go to fund Christ Covenant's NOLA 2014 mission trip!

Yard Sale - April 5

Your "Well-Loved-But-No-Longer-Needed" Items could help teach a child to read, rebuild a house for

an elderly widow, or cultivate an urban garden! Your dishes, furniture or clothes can do all that and more if you save them and donate them to Christ Covenant's Summer Mission Yard Sale. Start putting items aside, and we'll open up the church building for drop off about a week before the yard sale.

We need plastic grocery bags for the yard sale - if you have extra, bring those by anytime.

Contact Pastor Bill by email if you can help, have a question or need your items picked up right away.

Rent-A-Misisonary

These folks work hard! Arrange to have them do some spring chores and make a donation to the NOLA 2014 fund. Your donation will be distributed across the costs of the team members doing the work. They can help with:

Yard work
Mulching
Clearing brush
Pulling items out of storage
Loads to the landfill
Whatever!

Contact Wil Dargan by email or in person to make arrangements.

Special Offering

Put "NOLA 2014" in the memo field of your check or our online giving site and your special offering will be applied to this trip. You can either give for a particular team member or to the team as a whole.

This year's team includes: Wesley Bouchard, Sean Coss, Wil Dargan, Will Dargan, Samantha Heinlein, Karen Jordan, Hannah Jordan, Bill Lindner, Mary Lynn Lindner, Jim O'Campo, Rachel O'Campo

Question 12: What does God require in the ninth and tenth commandments?
Answer:

Ninth, that we do not lie or deceive, but speak the truth in love. Tenth, that we are content, not envying anyone or resenting what God has given them or us.
