Fri. 11/20 OCC Shoebox Packing Party

OK, so it's our first ever packing party and Katie and I learned a lot!!
FCC adopted 33 shoe boxes which we thought was pretty awesome! Believe me, Katie did a great job purchasing items for these boxes as you can see by the photo's!! For $25.00 the child got 3 pairs of socks, 3 pairs of underwear, 3 wash cloths, 6 pencils, sharpener, toothpaste, toothbrush, a bar of soap, box of crayons, note pad, toy, AND a baggie of hard candy AND that included the shipping. Sweet!
Even as I type this I'm visualizing the candy ordeal...and running out of baggies :) I wont mention the 1 sock and 2 toothbrushes that were left! There would be no rest until the box with the missing sock was found. Lee found them thank goodness!
The shipping was paid online (a new feature for OCC) and the shoeboxes can be tracked. Hopefully we'll know where our 33 boxes end up!
Next stop, our shoe box dedication!!

Women's Groups

There are currently three women's groups at FCC they are:
Joy Circle, Hope Circle and Love Circle. These three groups joined together make the Christian Circle.
The Christian Circle meets twice a year to report on what each individual group has been up to and perhaps we will have a guest speaker from one of the missions or organizations we support. Not to mention the Salad Supper!
Each group has their own function with in the Church as well as their own special missions, activites and monthly meetings. At the meetings business is taken care of then typically a lesson or a study of some sort and fellowship.
Sometimes it's just a place we can come together as friends and let our hair down, it's a place to draw closer to each other but more importantly to our Lord and Savior.
