Christmas Card Exchange for Missions
As we get closer to Christmas, it’s time to start writing Christmas Cards! We will again be hosting a church-wide Christmas Card Exchange as a fundraiser for Missions. The sorting box will be placed next to the Hospitality Room at the end of November. Please drop off and collect your cards at any time until the Christmas Eve service. Cards for members who are not able to collect their own will be delivered, either via mail or personally depending on their location. A collection box will be placed with the card box. A donation of 25 cents per card is requested. Please make checks payable to HVBC with Missions in the memo line.
