MISSION COMMITTEE OFFERS MANY WAYS TO GIVE THIS HOLIDAY SEASON Brown Bags for Brown Street It’s the 2021-22 school year and Jessica Ornburg has a new class of 20 students in the 3rd grade at Brown Street Academy- Milwaukee who are in need of everyday clothing. Pants, shirts, sweatshirts/sweaters and socks are on their Christmas lists this year. The congregation will have the opportunity to choose a child and provide these items for that individual child. Fill your hearts with the joy of giving to these children who have so little. More information will follow in the coming days. Cards (gift) for Christmas Clearing Council Another way to show your giving spirit at Christmas time is with gift cards distributed through the Christmas Clearing Council of Waukesha County. The Christmas Clearing Council distributes gift cards equaling $75 to 12-18 year olds who would otherwise not have presents at Christmas time. Toy drives take care of the younger children but often the older children are left out. Gift cards are a way to bring joy to these older children and let them know they are not forgotten. More information will follow in the coming days. Stay tuned. Garland will be hung for each project (Red for Brown Street & Green for Clearing Council) with tags attached indicating the gift option. You will simply take a tag and fulfill the wish.
