Baggage Claim

This year's dinner theater was phenomenal. The cast did an awesome job sharing the message of Christ through this well thought out play. The play intertwines the lives of several extraordinary characters that have all been changed by the love of Jesus. As a family meets these characters their own issues come to light. As they celebrate New Year's Eve with everyone the baggage everyone is carrying become evident. A huge thank you to Ms. Laura & Ms. Marnell for directing and putting everything together. This year's play was the best thus far! We are all looking forward to next year.

Once again we will team up with other churches to collect toys and various items for children in Mexico for Christmas. We are collecting for boys and girls from PK through 8th grade. This is an opportunity for us to be the hands of Jesus. This year we will not use shoe boxes but large plastic bags. The bags will hold the equivalent of an adult shoebox. Here are the types of items we are looking for: crayons, colored pencils, coloring books, small stuffed animals, small prizes, sunglasses, pencil sharpeners, erasers, dress up stuff, race cars, play dough, silly putty, yo-yos, plastic rings, necklaces, etc. Please drop in boxes in foyers. Questions, see Beth Tarleton, Mission's Chairman.
