Have you ever wondered how a bar code can help a child’s education? These bar codes from the Campbell soup can are used to purchase computers for the Murphy-Harpst Children’s Center.

In December 2011 we sent the center 1000 one point and 100 five point labels. We thank all who participated in this effort. Our goal for 2012 is to surpass that number.

You can turn in the bar codes any Sunday in the designated basket in the back of the sanctuary or the church office. If you don’t have time to cut out the bar codes, turn in the whole label and we’ll cut them out!

So think twice before you throw that can away. Cut off the label and recycle the can and you’ll be supporting 2 great causes.

Remember…Sunday Feb.5th

Please bring your canned goods for the Food Pantry and place in box in Sanctuary or in the area outside the Fellowship Hall.

Thanks to all who donated blood the week of Thanksgiving. 30 units were donated. For every pint of blood, 3 lives can be saved. Your generosity saved 90 lives

Our goal for this project is to invite people in the community to join us for a hot meal and fellowship on Thursday, Dec. 15th.We hope to serve 500 meals. On Friday the staff will deliver meals to the prison. We have published what we need in the bulletin and on the website. The response has been wonderful. However, we still need the following…

• 500-sets of prepackaged silverware
• 500 small (Hefty) round dessert plates
• apples and oranges
• pound cakes and cookies
• money to pay for the meals (write 2nd helping on the “for” line)

Please bring your donations to the Church Office Workroom by 2PM on Dec. 14 (Wed.)

If you would like to volunteer to help serve, you can sign up on the table in the office or just show up Thursday!
