In December we will be having gifts for all the children 12 and under whose parents made their “wish Lists” known to us in November. These gifts are purchased by individuals from the Knox Ministerial Congregations. Also the Knox Civic Club will have goodie bags for the children. Extra volunteers are needed to help with this distribution effort. Please call me at 797-5390 if you can help.
Let us remember to be Thankful for all those who support this effort and to keep those in need in our thoughts and prayers.
Blessings,
