Our goal is to make 20 amazing birthday bags and we are almost there! We have enough candles, cards, knives, and pans for 20 kits, but need
6 more cake mixes
10 more cans of frosting
10 more birthday bags (can be gently used)
6 more cans of soda
Place items in the Scialla Hall entryway bin. Drop offs can be Tuesday-Thursday during Library programming, or by appointment (email the office).
Thank you for all of the ways you have given to support the church. Once again, December was a month of generosity with about $45,000 in gifts given to support the mission of the church. Due to postal delays, some checks sent via mail in December were not received until January 3rd. 2023 giving statements will be sent out later this month.
Do you know your plan to give in 2024? Help our budgeting process by submitting your giving plan here: https://brooksidecc.breezechms.com/form/8516616829
