Youth Visit Elf Louise to Gift Wrap




The FBC Youth visited Elf Louise on Saturday, Dec. 8 to help wrap gifts for needy families. It was amazing to see the warehouse filled with thousands of gifts waiting to be delivered. That is a reminder of how many people are in need this Christmas Season. It really makes us thankful for what we have, when we realize there are people who have nothing. Don't take anything for granted...from stuff, to family, to health. We only have what we have by the grace of God.

Guest Speaker Wednesday Dec. 5

This Wednesday, December 5 we will have a guest speaker who serves God by serving the people in the African tribes in Uganda. These are a very primitive people who live in huts and live without the things we take for granted. She raises her own money to pay for her trips to Uganda, so we will be taking up an offering to help her out. Please be prepared to give as you feel led to give.

We will be giving her the small group time to speak to us, so we will not break out into small groups this week.

Elf Louise

We will be going to Elf Louise this coming Saturday, December 8 to gift wrap toys for needy families. If you would like to go, please contact us and turn in a permission slip no later than Wednesday, Dec. 5. Permission slips can be downloaded Here. We will also stop and eat, so bring spending money for dinner. For more info about the Elf Louise Christmas Project, please visit their website at www.elflouise.com.

Just like going shopping, but not spending any money!
