Operation Christmas Child
Thanks to the power of a simple shoebox, millions of children will hear the Gospel this year. Stop by the table in the FRC lobby on Sunday morning to pick up a brochure and a flat shoebox. You can also pick up brochures and boxes at the Church Office on weekdays. All prepared shoeboxes must be turned in to the Gathering Room on or before November 16.

Kids Connection Christmas
Every year, Dawson members and Life Groups provide Christmas gifts for more than 100 children. This year you can help local children as you purchase new items for Kids Connection families. There will be 10 different size and age-group lists for you to consider. These shopping lists will be located in the FRC Foyer on Sunday mornings. Simply follow the instructions on your list and return the new gifts to the Gathering Room (1st Floor North) anytime from now until November 21. Please note that multiple children may receive the items you purchase instead of a single individual. For more information, please contact Ben Hale.
