Shoebox ministry
SHOEBOXES DUE
BY LAST SUNDAY IN OCTOBER
Each fall, members of our congregation fill and wrap over 50 shoeboxes for this Christmas Mission project!
Through the efforts of many churches, Native American children and their families in New Mexico are shown God’s love through these shoebox gifts as well as gifts of basic food items!

Our Passion Shows!
Life Skills has been an important focus for our Youth: Sewing, cooking, decision-making, safety, public speaking and more have been topics of focus! Being His girl and using God’s guidance as teens will hopefully help them make good decisions in their future!
NURSING HOME STORE PROJECT
We collect items to provide a “shopping experience” for the residents of Presbyterian Village Nursing Home. We set up the items in the dining room, provide shoppers with “money” they can use to purchase items and wrap those items for loved ones if requested. The residents love shopping for family and themselves!
Suggested Items are:
Lightweight blankets/throws, decorative items, socks (men & women), sweater caps/baseball caps, puzzles, books, calendars, toiletries, brushes/combs, hair accessories, handkerchiefs (men & women), scarves, stuffed animals, etc. We also need wrapping paper (Christmas, birthday, generic), gift bags, tissue paper, name tags and scotch tape. Due to the pandemic, we are unable to provide the Christmas Store as we did last year, but we will continue to collect items for the Store in hopes that we will be able to provide this fun experience soon!
Donation Boxes are located in the TeamKIDs room!
Food For The Hungry
TeamKIDs sponsors 16 year old Yelusa Namwanga from Uganda!
Our support gives Yelusa the opportunity to thrive in school. She is learning about God’s love for her and her family with support from Food For the Hungry. Her community is taught agricultural skills to be self sufficient and thrive! We praise God that FH programs in her community have adapted for COVID-19 through food, ag supplies and personal protective equipment distribution, as well as teaching safety measures.
LA TECH BAPTIST COLLEGIATE MINISTRY
Along with other area churches, we help provide and serve dessert items for “Soul Food Tuesdays” lunch program at the Baptist Collegiate Ministry (BCM) facility at Louisiana Tech University.
It is a blessing to see so many young people involved in their campus ministry program, and we are thrilled to be a small part in this campus outreach!
