September 20, 2020 at 9:30am

1. Bob Ward will be teaching a new Sunday School Class beginning 9/20/2020 in the Conference Room in the Fellowship Hall.  It is open to any church member or guest.

The resource for the study is will be a guide titled “Marriage Survival Guide,” written by Dave and Ashley Willis*.  But, more than a marriage guide, it is intended to help us as individuals, survive the challenges of the Covid 19 pandemic. Couples or singles will learn ways to deal with the restrictions of the pandemic and how to address some needs in this new environment. It is based upon scripture and is set up for us to read a portion of the material and then discuss our needs and experiences.  A broad list of the subjects to be discussed is shown below.

1. SURVIVING FEAR & ANXIETY
2. SURVIVING FINANCIAL STRESS
3. SURVIVING NO PRIVACY
4. SURVIVING CONFLICT
5. SURVIVING PARENTING
6. SURVIVING SICKNESS
7. SURVIVING BOREDOM
8. DON’T JUST SURVIVE, THRIVE

Seafarer’s boxes
September 25, 2020 at Now thru Thanksgiving
Once again this year we will be taking seafarer's boxes to the Port of Houston.  Please try to pack a shoebox full with new items such as these and full-sized items are much preferred over small travel size.

Hairbrush/Comb	Band-Aids (fabric)	Baseball Caps (new)	2021 Calendar
Magnets	Dental floss	Deodorant	Disposable Razors
T-shirts (new)	Kleenex	Lip Balm	Lotion
Nail Clippers	Gold Bond Powder	Gold Bond Cream	Hot Chocolate
Q-Tips	Needle & Thread	Shaving Cream	Soap & Shampoo
Toothbrush	Toothpaste	Gum & Hard Candy	Key Chains
Pocket-size notebooks	Mechanical Pencils	Pens	Playing Cards
Popcorn	Socks	Flashlight w/ batteries	Texas Souvenirs
Earbuds / Headphones	USB Flash Drives	Word Search/ Sudoku/ Fill-in books	Personal note or card

These gifts of Love should be packed in shoebox size boxes, wrapped securely as one unit in Christmas paper. Please do not wrap lid and box separately or place bows on the boxes. Plastic shoeboxes become an extra gift for the seafarer!  The Seafarers appreciate these items tremendously. Please be sure your boxes are packed full of items! As there are very few women on board the ships currently, we request that the gifts boxed be packed for male seafarers.
