Hug a Healthcare Worker Update: we are extending t

Hug a Healthcare Worker Update: we are extending the deadline to Monday, Oct. 18. Cards and baskets can be dropped in the Gathering Hall (look for the "Hug A Healthcare Worker" flyer) and monetary donations can be sent to the church office.
Mission Council is coordinating another letter writing and donation drive for the nurses and other support staff at the hospital so that we can show our appreciation for their continuing commitment to caring for our community. They have been fighting for us since March 2020 and need our care now more than ever. Will you help?
1. Write a ‘Dear Hero’ love note expressing thanks, a personal story, encouragement, etc. and drop it off at the church. There is a collection basket in the Gathering Hall. This is a great project for kids too!!
2. Send financial donations for items for the care packages to church and the team will make the purchases: pay online at fpcwinc.org/donate or PayPal, or make checks out to the church and mail them to 116 N. Loudoun St., Winchester, 22601. Please clearly indicate on the memo line (or in the ‘other’ or ‘notes’ field online) that it is for the nurse care packages.
3. Donate medium to large sized baskets for displaying and delivering the packages. (call Rossi at 540-303-2769 to coordinate).

Please consider this URGENT NEED from CWS. If you

Every 4th Sunday, we collect a special offering called, "4 Cents a Meal." This is a program to help battle against hunger and poverty. We invite every member—of all ages—to contribute a few cents at every meal for a month tomorrow at our worship services during offertory. This simple act is an expression of thanks for what we have received. It is also a commitment to share with others in response to Jesus’ command “You give them something to eat.”
