Can you help our MPKIDS provide warm hats for Gypsy kids in Romania? MPKids will be collecting hats during church on December 8 th, the same day as the Children s Christmas Musical. Remember the Children, our mission partner who serves the Roma or Gypsy kids of Romania, is now providing these kids with gifts of toiletries and other personal items called Boxes of Hope. They have asked MPKIDS to supply the winter hats for these boxes other groups are supplying the components. In this mission plan, agents donate new or very gently used children s or youth-sized winter hats, all types, then we will apply a MPKIDS gift tag. This special gift helps these abandoned children feel warm and loved in a very personal way. It s a simple, inexpensive project that puts smiles on faces of kids living in extreme poverty. The Children's Choir, "Joyful Noise", is working hard on their Christmas musical "I See Christmas". There are now 15 children in the choir learning new songs and choreography. Please plan on attending our program on Sunday morning, December 8th, in the sanctuary. The "Blessed Bells" are preparing to celebrate Jesus' birth by performing two songs, "The Echo Carol" and "He Is Born" on December!5th. The same Sunday that the will sing their Cantata "Angels of Christmas". We hope to see you there and pray that this special Sunday will bring the excitement of Christ's birth close to your heart. ANGLE TREE MISSION OPPORTUNITY The FUMC Angel Tree is set to help meet the needs of 14 children and 4 adults provided by Healing Hearts Ministry of Terrell. The Angel Tree will be in the Fellowship Hall for our last Wednesday Night Live on November 20, then moved into the Sanctuary in me for our November 22, Sunday service. Please bring in unwrapped gi s by Sunday, December 15, 2013 If you don't have me to shop, we will be happy to put your monetary dona- ons toward gi s for our Angels gifts for this year.
