Adopt
a Family
We were not able to adopt the family, as planned, through the Salvation
Army. We believe God was guiding us back to our own Church family. We decided to adopt two families within our
church. We have distributed gift cards to these families to help with their food expenses and to purchase gifts for
Christmas. Thank you for your generous donations. As a Church, we are so blessed and we are so grateful that we
were able to share our love and the spirit of Christmas with these families.

Ring the Bells
On November 21, members of First Christian "Rang the Bell"
for the Salvation Army at Fisher Foods. During the four hours that we rang, a total of $100.50 was collected for the
Salvation Army. The overall total of money collected through the Ringing of the Bells this year was $117,000, which
was an increase of 9% over last year. Thank you to those who rang and those who donated.
Collection Drive
The last Saturday of
every month, First Assembly of God holds a soup kitchen for the community. During this time, a meal is served and groceries
and clothes are available. The ministry relies on donations to serve others. In the month of February, I am asking
our church to help donate what we can to help keep this wonderful mission in Massillon running. Here are items that
are used most often:
*Broth of any kind
*V8 Juice, vegetable juice or tomato juice
*Canned vegetables
*Clothing Items
*Monetary donations are also welcome. If you wouldlike to write a check, you can
make it out to Linda Remark or First Christian Church and it will be forwarded to First Assembly
The soup kitchen
would also love any volunteers who would like to help serve the last Saturday of each month. Arrival is 10:30 a.m. with
the serving taking place from 11am-1pm with clean up after. If you have any questions, please contact Linda Remark.
