Our Advent giving (instead of poinsettias) will be for Refugee Services through Minnesota Council of Churches. Here is a list of items that we can provide for new refugees to our area.
Tableware (Plates, bowls, drinking glasses, mugs, silverware)
Cookware (Cookies sheets, baking dishes, mixing bowls, serving bowls, food storage containers, serving trays, kitchen knives, kitchen utensils such as wooden spoons, slotted spoons, spatulas, ladles, can openers, dish rags/dish towels, potholders)
Items can be placed in the South Sanctuary. Starting December 1, you may also donate money through Givelify for this Advent project or send a check to the church office. Mission and Outreach will shop for you!
