Operation Christmas Child
Shoeboxes are here!

October 22 – November 12

There are two ways you can fill your shoeboxes. You can pack a traditional box (found on the cart in the back of the Sanctuary) or you can build boxes online.

Inside the traditional boxes are pamphlets with ideas of how to pack your boxes. For more in-depth gift suggestions click HERE.  Please use the label on the pamphlet to mark whether you’re buying for a boy or a girl and the age. The shipping fee is $10 per box. Missions will pay for shipping of the boxes, but we are also accepting donations to help with the cost of the shipping fees. Please do not put money in the boxes. If you choose to donate either part or all of the shipping fee, you may put cash, or a check made out to FCC in the wooden lock box on the table by the boxes.

Building a Shoebox Online. Click HERE to build your shoeboxes online:

The cost to build online is $25 per box, which includes the shipping fee. It’s an easy way to fill a shoebox and you get to pick out the items you want to put in each box you build.

We’ve set a goal of 40 traditional and 40 online shoeboxes. Let’s see what we can do!

This year marks 30 years since Samaritan’s Purse began collecting, and they’ve been blessed by 209 million boxes filled with gifts to hurting children and who’ve been introduced to the Good News of Jesus Christ!

Thanks for packing and have fun!


Godspell at Mukwonago HS


 

The musical Godspell is being performed at Mukwonago High School from Thursday, November 9th through Sunday, November 12. The Thursday, Friday, and Saturday performances are at 7 PM.  The Sunday matinee is at 2 PM.   I would really like to see a group of FCC members there.  I am not leading the charge on planning a date, since I will already be attending the Thursday evening performance with the Mukwonago Area Community Choir, but I hope to see some of our FCC members there.  Just FYI – our November business meeting is scheduled for Sunday, November 12. Click HERE to get tickets.

 “You must be always killing sin, or it will be killing you!” - John Owen

1 Peter 1:16 says, "You shall be holy, for I am holy.”  Join the Scripture Chicks as we discuss holiness using John Owen's Christian classic, On The Mortification of Sin. Written nearly 400 years ago, it is still as relevant as ever, and free copies are available in updated language or the original text. Click HERE.

Don't be intimidated!  We don't aim to tackle all 400+ pages, but instead will have focused, substantive discussions on select portions of the text. Join us Tuesday evenings at 6:30 beginning on November 7th in the classroom. Contact Karen at kmathew5@zoho.com for info.
