ANNOUNCEMENTS
RESCHEDULED: ALL CHURCH CHRISTMAS CAROLING
Due to forecasted low temperatures, the all-church Christmas caroling has been rescheduled for next Sunday, December 21, at 5pm. We will split up into groups and visit a few shut-ins and others from our church. If you know of someone who would enjoy being visited by our carolers, please let Krisa Sands, in the church office, know as soon as possible. Doughnuts and hot chocolate will be served in the Fellowship Hall following the caroling. There will not be an evening service that night. Please note: any families who have preschoolers or younger that plan to carol with us will have to follow behind the bus in their personal vehicles to each of the stops. Thank you for your help with this!
CHRISTMAS FOR FAMILIES
This Christmas season our church will be focusing on helping families within our community to help make their Christmas a little extra special. We have the opportunity to help a few people associated with our Spanish Ministry and Operation Love. If you would like to help with this, see the button below for an updated list of the type of gifts, food, and gift cards that are needed. If you are a part of a Sunday School class, your class will also be assigned a list of specific gift items needed for individuals. Please drop off any items at the church office by today.

HELP NEEDED: TURN AWAY NO LONGER MINISTRIES
Turn Away No Longer (TANL) is a nonprofit organization in Madison County helping children in need. TANL provides Swag Packs to children entering foster care through their Care4Kidz program.
Swag Packs are new bags/backpacks stuffed with new items the children need and can use, along with an encouraging note to tell a child, "you do matter, we care about you, God loves you and He has a plan for your life". TANL works with Benchmark Family Services, Kids Peace Indiana Foster Care, and the Dept. of Child Services at the state and local levels.
Swag Packs give children a bit of comfort in having something of their very own they can take with them to their next destination. Grace Baptist Church is a Drop Zone for donations and wants to fully support these efforts to make a difference in children's lives. Find information at the buttons below on what items to donate for this effort:
