Our friend from South Africa, Anne Abok, has sent us the books she told us about a few months ago. It is authored by one of the women they helped in their ministry. They are ten dollars each at the information desk. All donations will be returned to help support her in her new life. Anne sends her thanks and regards to all of us at Outreach.  

• Just a friendly reminder- Many items have been being left behind after building usage, on Sundays, and throughout the week. Please remember to take anything which belongs to you and to return items back to where they belong after use. Any items left throughout the building and in the lost and found will be donated after Dec. 17th.

• Outreach has a wonderful opportunity to help others by participating in the Woodburn Christian Children’s Home Christmas list for the children served there and also for the needs of the house. Check the lobby xmas tree for gift tags for specific gifts. Please attach BOTH tags to the outside of the gift, and include the gift receipt. Please also take a wish list for the house. All gifts and supplies need to be turned in by December 12th in order to allow time for delivery to the home. Thank you for your participation in this ministry.
