Worship Ministries Service Project

I think most of us know that Jeff and Karen Jones' son, Jed, is deployed with the 1st Battalion, 8th Marines in Afghanistan right now. Jeff plays, faithfully, in our band and serves as our steward of property. Karen has just finished a long tenure in our children's ministries and is continuing to serve in other areas in our church including worship ministries. Their daughter, Abbi, is active in the youth group and is growing into a leader, herself.

Karen, along with many other mothers of the 1/8 Marines, are collecting items to pack in gift boxes for Christmas. ForwardAir, here in Greeneville, has agreed to ship the boxes to these Marines in the field in time for Christmas.

I would like to invite all that are involved in worship ministries at GFCOG to help Karen by donating items for these boxes. Here are the items that she would like to collect:

• socks (green, gray or brown, that rise above their boots, tube sock style)
• travel-size tubes of toothpaste
• travel-size bottles of mouthwash

We will begin collecting these items this Sunday, 11/14 and ending the donation period on Sunday, 12/5. A box for the items will be in the choir room.

Thanks to everyone for helping out in advance...may God bless you and God bless America!
