OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
Each year in October Pilgrim begins collecting and filling shoe boxes for this special ministry. In 2007 Pilgrim was a distribution point for other churches and collected over 1,000 boxes from area churches including more than 100 boxes filled by Pilgrim people. Operation Christmas Child sends a message of hope to children in desperate situations around the world through gift-filled shoe boxes and Christian literature. This program provides an opportunity for individuals of all ages to be involved in a simple, hands-on missions project that reaches out to suffering children while focusing on the true meaning of Christmas—Jesus Christ, God's greatest gift. In 2006, over 7.6 million shoe boxes were collected worldwide and distributed to children in about 95 countries.

LOCAL FOOD BANK...
The first Sunday of every month, remember to bring in your non-perishable foods and paper goods for the local food bank. You can also bring items such as toothpaste, shampoo, toothbrushes, etc. Items can be put in the box provided in the church entry. Would you like to donate but can't bring your donations on Sunday? You can drop your items off mornings Monday thru Friday in the church office.
