KICY SUNDAY: We are asking for only $1.00 from each of you. It’s a small gift which yields tremendous results as KICY ministers to those living in great isolation. They serve over 100 villages in western Alaska.   Many have no church or pastor. KICY is spreading the Gospel to Western Alaska & The Russian Far East. Thanks for your help!

FOOD DONATIONS FOR FAIRFIELD FOOD PANTRY: During the month of October, we will be collecting non-perishable food items for the Fairfield Food Pantry.  Please place your donations in the yellow barrel in the Narthex.  The Pantry is especially in need of peanut butter, mac & cheese (boxed), spaghetti sauce and spaghetti.  Thank you for helping out!

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD: Our packing party will be on 11/10/2024 from 12:30 - 2:30. If you plan to attend it would be helpful to look at the list of supplies of things we need to bring and donate what you can. All shoeboxes must be returned to CCC no later than 11/17/2024. Our goal is to pack a total of 75 boxes. If anyone wants to prepay for shipping, we have labels with the QR Codes to pay, so then we can just attach them to the box. It is just $10 per shoebox.

CHARLIE BROWN LUNCH / OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD PACKING PARTY: Stay after service on 11/10 from 12:30-2:30 and help us pack shoeboxes to send to underprivileged children across the world. The youth will provide us with their annual Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.
