We would like to say "Thank You" again this Thanksgiving to the military families who are a part of Faith Community Church and School for the service and sacrifices they make on our behalf. Our Girl Scout troop from the school will again bake homemade bread for each of our families. You can take part by providing items or funding for the baskets. The items we need are Gift Cards, $10 or $15, to McDonalds, Starbucks, Cold Stone, Blockbuster, Vons, Safeway or Ralphs, or movies passes to a local theater. Other items: bags of microwave popcorn, bags of Hershey Kisses, boxes or bags of Raisenettes, Skittles or M & M's, boxes of stuffing, cans of cranberry sauce, olives, chicken broth or boxes of cocoa packets. You may drop off the items at the office any weekday, or there will be a basket in the Lobby during our weekend services, on or before November 10th. Thank you for your help to bless and thank those who give so much for us.
