Christmas in July for Operation Christmas Child was a real success. We have 20 boxes ready to be shipped in November. We still need to collect $7.00 for each box. We will have a table set up between services to collect $7.00 to help get the boxes to the foreign countries.
75th Anniversary Celebration There is a sign up sheet on the table in the Narthex for you to sign up so we know how many to plan for at the 75th Anniversary Celebration Dinner on Sunday, November 18th, at the Lincoln Firefighters Reception Hall at 241 Victory Lane. Cost is $10.00 (kids 6-9, $5.00) Also, there will be a freewill offering can for offsetting the cost of materials for our banquet celebration. If you can help, please put some money in the can. P.S. We didn’t want to raise the price of the ticket.

Food Pantry In November, the Lincoln Cluster Food pantry needs pasta, canned meats, hamburger helper and tuna helper, and juice. Cash donations are used for immediate needs. To donate cash, place it in the collection plate, clearly marked “Food Pantry”.
Florist Change

House of Flowers, 810 S. 27th Street, will be  the new florist.  Abloom increased the cost to $25.00 a bouquet; reason, cost of fuel.  A decision has been made to hire within the city limits at same cost as Abloom.  Standard price for Lincoln Florists is $25.00.

Note

The quilting ladies report that they have enough apple boxes at this time and do not need anymore until further notice.
