Cards From Christ
Stonybrook: This is your chance to participate in our Prison Ministry program! In the past couple of years, you have donated extra Christmas cards (the unsolicited ones you receive in the mail or the leftovers you have from previous years). These cards have been signed (first name only) and sent off to Cards From Christ, the ministry that collects these cards for prisoners who often get nothing at Christmas from families or friends. As each incarcerated individual in the Ohio prison system receives a card, they realize that they have not been forgotten and are cared about during this holiday season.
Last year we collected and signed 1916 cards!!!!! Isn’t that amazing?! We don’t need envelopes, only cards. If you want to help by signing, just remember to use black pen and no last names. We will collect cards, signed or unsigned, in the box located on the counter outside the sanctuary. We would like to collect cards before November 9 so we can get them signed, counted, and transported to Marysville.
Thank you for helping us with this simple way of sharing God’s love during the holiday season with people who are often forgotten and are very grateful for a card. If you have any questions, contact the church office.
