Lots of Ways YOU Can Help

The D.P.C.O. Christmas Store preparation is moving full speed ahead, and there are several ways you can get involved. This Thursday (11/6) from 4 to 8 pm, Panera Bread on Oneida will donate 25% of their net sales to the Christmas Store project. (Use code FUND4U at panerabread.com, in the Panera App, or at the kiosk in-cafe.) Visit Panera this Thursday!

Second, you'll find two Giving Trees set up around the church covered with tags for you to take listing items you can purchase to help supply the store. It's a very easy way to contribute to this wonderful project that helps so many.

Finally, we need LOTS of volunteers to help make the store happen. Here are online links for you to use to sign up to help: Saturday (12/6) set-up - click HERE... Monday (12/8) set-up - click HERE... Tuesday (12/9) in store - click HERE...Wednesday (12/10) in store - click HERE... Thursday (12/11) Clean up - click HERE.

Thanks to all who can help in any way. Contact Debbie Spiegel, Annette Kinchen, or Marilyn Heim for more information or questions about the project.

A Friendly Reminder

Did you know our church has a wonderful library downstairs? It's an amazing source of books and other content for our church family to share. We're asking that you PLEASE RETURN anything you've checked out from our Library. There are some items that have been gone for months and need to be returned. Thanks for helping us continue this amazing resource!
