XYZ Missions
The last time we can collect items for the Nicaragua Mission Trip will be at the
XYZ meeting on July 14. The Mission Team will be leaving on July 19. We
still need hygiene items such as toothpaste, tooth brushes, washcloths, soap,
and antiseptic creams. We also have a real need for money donations to buy
Manna Packs of food. Any amount would be appreciated. Please give this
money to Nancy Nasim.
We covet your prayers, and we want to thank XYZ members for all the
donations you have made for this trip throughout the year. XYZ members are
the BEST!!
