Local businesses, schools, churches and individuals and families will come together to package meals for under-privileged children in coutries like Sierra Leone, Malawi, Uganda, Liberia, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic.

If you, your family or group would like to join us from 10-11:30AM on Saturday, December 10th to package food, please call 360-639-9258.  Or you can make a donation to change a child’s life.  Checks payable to Stanwood Foursquare Church/Children of the Nations.  For just 25 cents a meal, our community will make a difference in the lives of thousands of children.

Feed a child…change a life.

What if Missions Without Borders took the ministry one step further, not just doing missions at the migrant camps but also in the backyards of our community?  The whole idea is that you don’t have to go far to reach the lost!

“and that a change of hearts and lives and forgiveness of sins would be preached in his name to all nations, starting at Jerusalem.” Luke 24:47

What would it look like?  Think of the church serving together for a widow or for a family in need.  It could be anything from yard work to making meals for a family that doesn’t go to our church.  It could be a way for us to team together for Christ and to show His love to our neighbors.  There are so many creative ways we could serve!

The idea is to get a team of people together to look, seek and pray for opportunities in our community.  Then we would have a place to sign up (or send out an email) when there is a date, time and place set up to serve.  We could also challenge home groups to take on mini-missions where they could serve together as a group.

What an exciting way to teach our children and the church how to serve hands-on for the Lord in our community!

Because of your generosity, hours of shopping, phone calling, and delivering, we were able to help 24 families have a bountiful Thanksgiving Dinner. Thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus.

Thanksgiving Baskets will be given out to families in our church or community who are unable to provide Thanksgiving meals for their loved ones. A barrel will be provided in the fellowship hall for you to place your donated food items in, or if you are giving a financial donation, please mark it “Thanksgiving Baskets” and place it in the offering plate.

Possible food donation items: Canned Vegetables or Fruit (especially corn, green beans, cranberries or pumpkin), Canned Chili or Soups, Boxed Macaroni or Other Pasta, Baby Food or Formula, 5 lb Bags of Flour, 1 lb Bags of Brown or White Sugar, Cake Mixes and Canned Frosting, Boxed Stuffing Mixes, Bagged Marshmallows.

The Welcome Boxes were delivered this week and the people at the camps were very grateful.

If you would like to be a part of this outreach to the children of the camps, contact Natalie R. at 360-629-6072 or at Natrodmassage.
