SAMARITANS PURSE . . . Or as we know it ‘Shoe Boxes’ . . . Is an on-going event in which we gather school items, hygiene products and toys for children who live in orphanages or in very poor areas around the world who have nothing or very little. These boxes that you put together are for them, but the greatest part is that these children will hear about the love of God. Now school will be starting in about five weeks, which means school supplies are now on sale. As you gather supplies for your children this would be a great time to purchase some extra items for the Shoe Boxes. Paying 25 cents for crayons is better than $2.00or 50 cents for color pencils instead of $1.59, a great way to stretch the dollar. If you do not have time to shop we would love to shop for you. Direct your questions to Ann McIntyre, ann.mc@sbcglobal.net or Odessa Sanden, osanden@aol.com. You can also let us know on your communication card that you would like to be contacted. Looking forward to another great year.
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO SUPPORTED THE BURGER BOOTH IN EVERY WAY—time, donations of money, sodas, water and chips! After expenses, we raised $4,076!
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO PLAYED A PART OF OUR VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL 2010! Without the dedication and support from all of you, we would not have been able to serve 109 children of this Valley! We each used the talents and gifts the Lord has given us, and brought a powerful and fun program. Next year we travel to Nazareth to learn about the life of the boy Jesus!
