My name is Sarah Betts, I'm a senior at DCHS and I'm gonna be managing the blog from now on.
So here's the deal: SHOEBOX FOR SOLDIERS
This is going to be our Christmas outreach project. You've probably noticed the box in the entrance to the school by now. There's a long list of things that you can bring in. We'll box it up and send our gifts overseas to our soldiers, our heroes. You can even write a letter of encouragement to one of the soldiers. Who knows, you could plant a seed of hope and truth in their hearts without ever meeting them!
Here's a list of some items that they need:
- Flashlight & batteries
- Lance crackers
- Beef jerkey
- Chewing gum
- Pringles
- Life Savers
- Crystal Light drink mixes
- Eye drops - saline solution
- Pocket tissues
- Pocket handi wipes
- Worldwide $10 phone cards
- Thermal socks
- Thermal underwear
Please be sure to get your donations by November 16th!
Thanks to everyone who has been supporting the project already!
Also: ACCOUNTABILITY MEETINGS
Thursdays in Mr. Hurst's room
In his message last Friday, Marc Hannah challenged us to be bold about spreading the gospel, especially to the people we already know who are not Christians. Many of you made personal commitments to reach out to those people. Strive to keep those commitments! Having an accountability partner will really help to keep you on track. I urge you to find someone to hold you to your word and support you in your walk with God. You don't even have to meet with us, you can have your own meetings on your own time.
Some of you have been attending the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, which meets at the same time as the accountability groups, and that's great! If that is where you feel that God would have you, if that ministry is strengthening your walk, please don't feel like you have to leave it to come to our meeting. Like I said before, you can meet on your own time with your accountability partner.
Later,
Sarah
