CCAP Winchester Needs
CCAP Winchester is providing Christmas dinner food boxes for its clients, and we will continue to collect donations for these boxes through December 7th. The list of requested 9 items is on the large table in the narthex. Please place your donations in the boxes below the table.
The OSLC CCAP POC is Nancy B.
Evangelism News
A HUGE Thank You for your support of the Evangelism Ministry. Through your generosity, 21 boxes were collected for Operation Christmas Child and 21 children somewhere in the world will have gifts at Christmas and an opportunity to know Jesus. Samaritan’s Purse adds to each box, a book called The Greatest Gift introducing the children to Jesus. They also offer The Greatest Journey, a 12-lesson discipleship course. Children who participate in the program learn how to follow Christ and share Him with others. As they do, entire families and communities are transformed by the power of the Gospel, and churches are started. Thank you again for helping to spread the Good News of Jesus!
Food Insecruity
Food insecurity is increasing in our area. CCAP Winchester urgently needs the following staples to replenish diminishing supplies and meet increasing demands: spaghetti sauce/diced tomatoes (cans only), spaghetti, canned/pouch chicken, rice, cereal, shelf-stable juice and milk, crackers, baby food/formula, Ramen cup- a-soup, mac and cheese cups, canned fruit, salt and pepper, and ketchup. Please place your donations in the “Food drive for CCAP” boxes beneath the large table in the narthex.
