Christmas Missionary Boxes

 Yes it’s that time again. The boxes will be in the foyer every Sunday until their mailing dates. Packages to our overseas missionaries will be mailed November 1st, hopefully giving them plenty of time to arrive in their missions before the holiday. The packages for our stateside missionaries will be mailed during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.

Since all of the items need to fit into one box we are asking that the items donated for the boxes be small. Following is a list of suggestions:
Food: (items should be individually packaged)

Drink flavoring packets for water bottles

Gum

         lunches
Fruit snacks
Cocoa mixes
Instant oatmeal
Jerky (except for Brazil)
Individually wrapped candies/chocolates
