Marshall Manor Christmas Store
It is once again time for items for the Marshall Manor nursing home Christmas store. The residents love this project as they can come into our store and get two or three items to give their family. Please bring anything that's appropriate for this ministry
to the box across from the library marked CHRISTMAS STORE by December 5th. There is a list on this box of appropriate items. Thanks.
THE ALABAMA BAPTIST: CELEBRATING 175 YEARS OF TELLING THE STORY
Our church has a singular opportunity to become a member of The Founder’s Society
of The Alabama Baptist—underwriting the celebration of 175 years of leadership in
Baptist missions journalism. A beautiful pictorial book will recount the story of
Alabama Baptists and highlight our unique role in the founding of the Southern
Baptist Convention. Our church has a goal of $2,000 to help support this significant
milestone in our state’s missions outreach. Brother Joel has additional information
about the project. We need to reach our goal by December 1 in order to help our
church be a founding entity in preserving our Alabama Baptist history. We will also
be able to pre-order copies of this anniversary publication. See our bulletin board in
the hallway for details.
Calendar of Events
A Calendar of Events for the upcoming holiday season is now
available. Copies can be found on the table outside the church
office. The calendar is also posted on the church website.
The jail ministry will be putting together fruit baskets again this year. If you would
like to participate, we will meet Friday, December 16th at 8:00am in the
Fellowship Hall. It should only take about an hour to complete them. If you have
any questions, or would like more information, please contact Kevin Hawk at
256-302-2111 or [email protected].
FBC Goal: $58,000.00
Received: $4,222.27
