Social Ministry UPDATE
Thank you for your great response to the Operation Christmas Child boxes. We have a few more boxes if you would still like to pick one up and fill it. You can pay for shipping and track your box online at https://www.samaritanspurse.org If you would prefer to build a box online, you can do that there as well. Please return your filled boxes to the church by Sunday 11/13 so I can deliver them. Please do not seal the boxes. Just close them with a rubber band or twine. They will be sealed at the processing center.
Watch for bins at church in November and December for the food and toy drive to benefit Ramona Food and Clothes Closet. This is a great opportunity to use some Thrivent Action Team Dollars!!
Finally, Spirit of Joy is involved in Serve Ramona, a group of people from various churches in town that plan and implement service projects in Ramona. Please check out https://serveramona.org/ for ways to get involved. If you would like to help plan, the meetings are the 3rd Tuesday of the month at 5 p.m. The next project is packing care kits for the homeless. Check out the link to buy items to contribute, or help pack the bags at 9 a.m. on November 12, 2022. This is a super chance to get to know our brothers and sisters in Christ from other church communities!
