FOOD PANTRY AND SOLES FOR JESUS COLLECTIONS
In case you weren't aware, we have a collection point in the foyer for the Waukesha Food Pantry, and one in Uptown for shoes to be donated to Soles for Jesus. We collect all year for these ministries.
Treehouse Treasures Our church family is growing! Many babies have come and will be coming in the next few weeks/months. We would love to bless our new moms with a gift bag filled with newborn items (diapers, wipes, baby bath items, onesies, gowns, or swaddlers). Amy Prebil organizes this and has set up a Treasure Chest back in our nursery area to accept item donations.

If you or someone you know from our congregation could use some gifts this Christmas, please complete a form (found at the Hospitality Booth) and place in the offering or Connection Box. We will take nominations through NOVEMBER 9th. |
