October Service Opportunities
Serving others in the name of Christ is an important part of being an American Heritage Girl. Here are some opportunities where you & your daughter can serve together. *Please sign up at the links below if you plan to participate.
Serving our Charter Organization – Choir Cookies
We have been asked to provide cookies and brownies for the choir each month. Please sign up to bring these to the second meeting in October. viewsheet.php-type=2&sheet=3a38e69bf2ee4194e44aa1a301eafb9e
Monthly Service Meeting – Make a Difference Day (H.U.G.S) & Name Your Cancer Bear
Saturday, October 23rd. 9:30-11:30 in the Fellowship Hall at Hope Church
Name & donate your teddy bear – 12:00 in the main lobby at Christ’s Church at Mason (CCM)
Please join us as we build birdhouses and make salvation bracelets. These bracelets will be taken all over the world and given to children who need medical treatment. We are asking every girl to bring either one spool of leather cording or a bag of 9mm PNY beads. Cording needs to be pre-cut into 13" lengths. We also needs girls 5th grade and up to bring a paintbrush and a hammer. Please sign up at this link: <http://www.helpersignup.com/viewsheet.php?type=2&sheet=11d2ab554c6ff719368e57d425e4d470>
If you stuffed a teddy bear for cancer patients at last month’s service meeting, you now have an opportunity to help your bear get one step closer to his new home! The ladies from “His Hands Ministry” are setting aside a special time for our girls to come & donate the bears that they helped make. For $5, girls can name & donate their bear to be sent to a hurting cancer patient. The money is then used to buy fabric, stuffing, etc. to help this ministry continue. More bears will be available to name & donate before each of the services at CCM on Sunday, October 24th.
H.U.G.S. – Operation Christmas Child
National Collection Week: November 15-22
The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to demonstrate God's love in a tangible way to needy children around the world, and together with the local church worldwide, to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. Your daughter can help make this happen by wrapping a shoe box & filling it with small toys, hard candy, school supplies, etc. The people at Samaritan’s Purse then add a gospel book in the child’s native language & ship the boxes to needy children around the world. *You do not need to sign up to participate as this is a home project. We will ask you to “sign in” when you bring in your box so we can give girls credit toward their HUGS patch. To find more information about this ministry & instructions on how to pack a box, please go to http://www.samaritanspurse.org/index.php/OCC/FAQ#
