Countryside is wrapping up needed items for men, women, and children living in shelters during the holidays. We are partnering with HumanKind, Union Rescue Mission, Carpenter Place, Wichita Children’s Home, Catholic Charities, and Hope Ranch for Women. Each shelter/organization has a wish list of Christmas and winter items. Please stop by the table in the Lobby and pick up wish lists. We need our church family to donate these items during the month of November. Items can be dropped off at the table in the Lobby on Sundays, or at the church office.

 Sunday, December 10, immediately following the worship service, we will all gather in the Gym for pizza and wrap these gifts, write notes of encouragement in Christmas cards, and pray for each shelter. During this time we’ll also sing Christmas carols, play Christmas trivia, and vote for the best cookie in our Countryside Christmas Cookie Competition! The winner will receive a prize!
