Youth Package Rice Meals
This past Wednesday, March 6th, the church youth gathered in the Ministry Center to assemble rice meal packets. They assembled 240 packets. Each packet is enough to feed six people, so because of the kids' efforts, over 1,400 meals will be provided to people who need food. The rice meal packets will be taken to the Midwest Mission Distribution Center in Pawnee, Illinois (located near Springfield). They will then be distributed throughout the United States and worldwide, wherever there is a need for food. Thanks, kids, for participating in this important mission project. And, thanks also to Venus Hilgart, Sue Loeffler, Rosalie Widstrand, Sue Henning, Pastor Mark, and parents for supporting our youth in their mission efforts! |

Christmas Gift Bag Mission Project.
Be sure to turn on the sound and wait until the end of the video for a message from the youth of Church of the Pines. The youth of the church are busy again with another Mission Project. They spent Wednesday afternoon on November 15th decorating Christmas Gift Bags that will be sold at the United Women in Faith's Cookie Walk & Craft Sale on Saturday, December 9th, from 9:30 until 11:00 a.m. The proceeds from donations received for the bags will benefit the mission projects of United Women in Faith that help people in need here in our community, throughout our nation, and around the world. The kids did a fantastic job and had a great time creating the Christmas Gift Bags. The Gift Bags are on display in the Ministry Center. Listen for the special greeting from the kids at the end of the video! |
