Christmas/Gingerbread House Party

Join the Family Ministry group for a gingerbread house making party on Saturday, December 10th from 10-12 in the New Life in Christ room.  Please bring your own graham crackers, icing and candy to share.  We are also in need of a pack of styrofoam plates and a pack of styrofoam cups (50 would be plenty).

Our community project for this month is filling stockings for the Salvation Army.  Our goal is to fill 10 stockings - 5 for a boy and 5 for a girl ranging in ages 5-9.  In addition to buying stocking stuffers, we are asking each family to donate a $5 gift card to Target, Walmart or 5 Below to add to the stockings.  Please sign up below for the items you will be donating.

5 pairs of boy socks
5 pairs of girl socks
5 balls for a boy
5 balls for a girl
5 matchbox cars
5 packs of hair accessories
5 books for a boy
5 books for a girl
5 girl toys
5 boy toys 

We are thinking that this will cost each family between $10-$15 (between the 5 items and the gift card) since most of these stocking stuffers can be found in places like the Dollar Store or the "One Spot" in Target.

Also, just as an FYI, we are asking the congregation for toothbrushes, tooth paste, coloring books, crayons, candy, gloves and chapstick in hopes of having a wide variety of items and 10 very full stockings.
