2020 Mitten Tree 

This year the proceeds of our Mitten Tree will be going to two separate places. We will ship a number of boxes of mittens, hats, and scarves to the Bakers, our missionary family in Mongolia, as we have in the past. They distribute these warm accessories to their church family, as well as to others in their area.

In addition, we will donate some locally through the Academy of Excellence Christian Schools, which has three locations with 900 primarily inner city students from Pre-K through 12th Grade. We want to help these students in need to keep warm this winter.

How can you help?

Add mittens, hats, or scarves to our collection. (Scarves are particularly in short supply.)

These can be hand made or purchased.

If you prefer, donations can be made to help with the cost of shipping boxes to Mongolia by using the Missions (T.I.M.) line of the Special Giving envelope in your box.

 

BLESSINGS in a BAG

For several past years, Linda and Roger Kautz have organized a work day for friends and family to assemble personal care kits –"Blessings in a Bag" – to be distributed at the Milwaukee Rescue Mission. A Blessings in a Bag is a little care package filled with everyday items that is gifted to the impoverished, homeless and needy. The Women's Guild would like you to join this project with donations of items needed, which can be left just inside the Fellowship Hall. You are also invited to join Linda on Saturday, January 9th, 2021 from 1-4pm assembling the kits. See list of suggested items below:

Hat, gloves, socks, scarf; Lip balm, hand sanitizer, bar soap; Toothbrush, toothpaste, comb; shampoo, conditioner, hand lotion (travel size); deodorant, Band-aids, razor, tissues; sanitary napkins (individually wrapped); Snacks: beef jerky, granola bars, trail mix

Bible materials, pocket size Bible, Portals of Prayer, devotionals.
