The Open Circle Sunday School Class invites you to join us in our Christmas mission project!  We are stocking the shelves of the Williamson County Children’s Advocacy Center with small new stuffed animals that will be given to the children who are brought to the center for
comprehensive care after experiencing abuse, neglect or family violence. This center has given away 975 stuffies just this year, so the need is very great!

How can you help? Bring NEW (No previously loved), small – under 12 inches – stuffed animals to the church. Look for the collection barrel in Brightwell Place. Please no teddy bears, but any other variety will be much appreciated! And please, no other toys! Also needed are individually wrapped snacks such as granola bars, potato chips, fruit/gummy packets, and crackers. Join in sharing our love with hurt and scared children this Christmas and for the entire year!
