12.  A SUGGESTION  -  If you haven’t checked out the large bulletin board in the lower Narthex, please do so.  The Mission Committee’s effort in presenting this information is to inform you of the organizations that you support by allocating nearly one-third of the WPC yearly budget to local, national and international missions.  The topic highlighted is changed every month.  Check it out!

13.  AN APPEAL FROM CAMERON MINISTRIES has come in for clothing, particularly clothes for children, as well as adult clothing.  Cameron is especially low on young boys’ clothes and boots.  In the past, supplies have been sufficient, but this year has been more difficult.  It is a good time to go through your closets and bring unneeded items (except for underwear and socks) to the designated box in the church office.
