October Women on Mission

Receipts for the World Hunger Offering are $1,700.97.  Thanks to all the Oakhill families who gave to this important ministry.  We are told by Bread for the  world that more than 1 in 5 children in the U.S. (15.9 million) are affected by this problem.

We have been asked by the Evansville Rescue Mission to collect cake mix for their
annual Thanksgiving Gobbler Gathering.  We want to collect at least 600 boxes.  The cake mix may be left in the main lobby near the entrance beginning Sunday, October 4.  Deadline is Sunday, November 15.  We have been involved in this ministry since 1996, when we collected 740 cans of green beans.

On September 24 we shipped 92 stocking caps to the International Seafarer’s Center at the Port of Indiana.  N.E. Park Baptist sent 22 hats as well.  A special thanks to Betty Busch and Sondra Bottoms for the high quality hats they made in addition, Walmart gift cards were sent to purchase personal grooming items for the men.  Chaplain Bundren is very appreciative of our on going support.

Women on Mission will meet Monday, October 12 at 7:00 in Fellowship Hall.  All Our ladies are invited to join us.
