The Reveal youth ministry is collecting donations for our Christmas commandos ministry. We will be putting together food boxes for families in our local communities that we will deliver after church on Sunday, December 14th.

We need your help in a few ways:

Food donations—We need people to pick up a recipe sheet or two from the table in the lobby and pick up everything needed to make the meal on the sheet.  It should cost around $10-$20, depending on what recipe you pick.  If you want to shop, but are unable to get everything on a recipe sheet, you can buy canned fruit and vegetables, cereal, or laundry baskets (the rectangular ones are best).  Donations need to be in to the church by Wednesday, December 11th.

Monetary donations—If you aren’t able to shop, you can donate money to the church (just mark it as “Commandos” and we’ll do the shopping for you.  Money needs to be turned in by Sunday, December 7th.

Drivers—We need people to help youth deliver baskets on December 14th.  It’ll start right after 2nd service and we should be done by 4pm that day (if not earlier).  You can sign up to drive on the sign up sheet on the information desk.

Recommend Families—We’re still looking for families to deliver to!  If you know of someone who could use a little extra blessing this year, just grab a sheet from the Commandos table in the church lobby, fill it out, and turn it in to the church office or to Pastor Chuck.

If you have any questions about anything concerning Christmas Commandos, please contact Pastor Chuck.  Thanks for supporting this ministry!
