We will definitely do this again, but not at Christmas next time! · A check totaling $520 for Bucks for Birds has been delivered to North Kent Connect. As always this comes in very handy during the Holiday Season. · The clothing from the Winter Apparel Tree has been delivered to NKC. Watch for the tally of items at a later date.

Those items will be delivered January 8, 2018. · A comforting Christmas surprise awaits a ten year girl named Molly who will be spending the holidays in foster care through D.A. Blodgett. Thanks to the generosity of this church, we were able to purchase everything on her Christmas wish list, including a cozy comforter and sheets. · This year, as we do every year, our thoughts turn to those members of our clergy who are retired or in need. Please read the inserts in this month’s bulletins and give generously to the Christmas Joy Offering. · Looking ahead to the New Year, the Youth Crew will be doing their own mission work raising funds and canned soups for the Souper Bowl of Caring February 4th and the World Vision 30 Hour Famine. Keep your eyes open for news from our youth. CAMP GREENWOOD MATCHING FUND! The session has set a goal of raising $1000.00 in general operating support for Camp Greenwood in 2018. To that end they have designated $500.00 from the 2017 church budget and are seeking matching contributions from the congregation. (This $1000 is in addition to the camper scholarships that we will be sponsoring for our children this summer.) If you can match the session’s donation, please contact Pastor Karen.
