Support Our Troops

Do you have a friend or family member currently serving in our US Military? We would like to add them to our prayer list. Please let the church office know the names so we can add them, and pray for them. If any of them are currently deployed in the MIddle East, please let us know so we can send them one of our care packages. If you have any questions, please contact Diane Cawood, 714-632-9377, dicawood@yahoo.com.

We have a new Chaplain who we will be sending our boxes to each month. He is the Chaplain for Regimental Combat Team 5 (RCT 5 in Afghanistan ). He has four battalion-level chaplains under his charge. There will be many Marines and Sailors who will benefit from our care packages.

"VIRTUAL" BABY SHOWER FOR MILITARY WIVES

We have become aware of a need at Camp Pendleton. The Family Readiness Officer for one of the units is asking for help for a group of women who are expecting babies and have little or no support from their families. There are 75 expectant Moms (spouses and Marines) who can use some help.

We would like help them out by showering them with baby gifts. They can use anything – baby clothes, diapers, knitted or crocheted baby blankets, nursery items, etc. Place the items in the box at church. They can also use gift cards to Wal-Mart (available thru our scrip program) or Target.

Other items we are collecting are "gently" used baby items and household items.
Thank you for your continued support of our troops and their families.

THANK YOU!

CARDS AND LETTERS!

We have sent out Christmas cards and "Thank You" cards in our boxes. Other holiday greetings (Valentines, Easter, etc.) would also be welcome.

Have you ever thought about writing a letter to a soldier? Why not a letter from home. Does this sound like something you would like to do? If so, please drop it off in the troop mailbox in the Narthex.

We like to include "Thank You" notes or "Thinking About You" notes in the boxes. Just sign them and place them in the "Troop Mailbox" in the entryway to the sanctuary and we will include them in the next shipment.

Packing goodies and supplies for our Troops in the Middle East. A fun and meaningful time...

We pack boxes the third Sunday of every month between church services (about 9:45 a.m.) Please join us!
For more information, please call Diane Cawood, 714-632-9377, dicawood11@yahoo.com.

Members of our Church Family are proudly serving our Country in the military.
Please keep them in your prayers...
