Dear Friends,

There are many opportunities during this season to give personally and as a church body.

Whiting Food Pantry (Bin located in Narthex)
We will be collecting and distributing to the Pantry in November and also December 15th.

Swaddling Clothes (Bin located in the Narthex)
Items needed: Baby Wipes, Diapers (especially sizes 3-6), unopened and unexpired baby food and formula, gently used baby clothes up to size 3T and gently used baby gear/items. Donations will be taken to Grace Dyer on December 15th.

St. Paul Lutheran Gift Card Drive
If you would like to contribute you may either purchase a gift card from a major local retailer (Stacks, Walmart, Target, etc.) or contribute cash which will be used to purchase gift cards. Put in offering plate in envelope marked Gift Card Drive or give directly to Pastor or Laura Henry. These gift cards will be distributed on December 15th to local families or individuals in need.

If you or someone you know would benefit from a gift card to help with holiday expenses, please let Laura Henry know. We want to reach those in our community to whom this would be a blessing. We have set a church goal of $500 to give back to the community members of Whiting/Robertsdale.

In Christ,

Pastor Henry
