ONGOING MINISTRY: PLASTIC BAGS FOR FAYETTE SAMARITANS We will continue to collect plastic grocery bags for Fayette Samaritans! Just place them in the
container in the Welcome Center. Thank you for helping to meet this need.
Operation Christmas Child Processing Center Worker Volunteers More than a Christmas Gift—On Thursday, December 14th we had 13 Lisbon volunteers travel to
the metro-Atlanta Shoebox processing center. Arriving shortly before 9 AM, our hard workers set to
work getting the donated shoeboxes checked, sorted and packed for shipment to children around the
world. As we processed these boxes, we were reminded that each box would be a tool that would be
used to share the story of the special gift of Jesus' love. Continue to pray for these boxes as they con-
tinue their journey and pray for the workers that will distribute the boxes that they will allow God to
work through their lives and their messages.
As it turned out, our group was there working when the last of the 1,600,000 shoeboxes in the
Atlanta center was completed, WHAT A BLESSING!
Winter Clothing Drive The time of cold weather is here and with it comes the need of the homeless folks for useable warm
clothing. Again this year we will be collecting gently worn cold weather clothing for the Rushton's
Hope center in Griffin, GA. REMEMBER, if you get new jackets, coats, gloves, caps, socks or what-
ever, DON'T THROW THE OLD ONES AWAY! Check those old items, if they still have some life
left in them, make sure they are clean and bring them to the church. A box will be in the Welcome
Center for those donations December 31 through January 14.

worship songs of the season.
