Special Projects to Share God's Love
Project Angel Tree Time is Here!!
Burke is again participating in the Angel Tree Program, spon-sored by the Community Action Board. With this program, children of prisoners are not forgotten at Christmas time— "an angel" (member of our congregation) purchases a pre-designated gift for a child and then returns this gift to the church where is it then delivered to the family of the child on behalf of the prisoner. It is a wonderful program to be a part of and we would love to have you. Our "tree" is up in the church entryway so please look for names and items posted there. We have 28 children this year and are hoping for a generous outpouring of support for this program from our congregation. We need the wrapped gifts returned to the church by Sunday, December 14, 2008 to begin distribution of these precious items to the children. If you are interested in assisting in this project or being a part of the delivery of these gifts, please contact Diane McFarlin via the church office. Everyone can participate in this wonderful program.. come one...come All. |
Lenten Devotional from Burke’s Congregation! Your devotional may be a special prayer, bible verse or story
hat is special or insightful. You may choose to use an entire verse
and paraphrase it or just narrow it down to a word or a phrase
that is im-portant to you. All entries are welcome and we are not here
to judge one another but to share in our love of God.
There will be a box located in the Narthex to collect the devotionals
or you may give them to Karen Tribbey.
