God did not design us to go through life alone. He designed us to be in relationship with one another. Life Groups are the best way to help you go from just attending a service to connecting with others and developing a deeper relationship with Christ. Sign up to join a Life Group by filling out the card in Sunday's bulletin and dropping it in the offering plate or head to fccbrazil.org and sign up on the Life Groups page.

Things to place in the box include:

• Nonperishable food items (no expired food please)
• Hygiene items
• Laundry and dish soap
• Cleaning products
• Baby items (diapers, wipes)
• Small toys

While it is cold outside, no jars or other things that might freeze and burst should be placed in the box.  Also, new items only please.
Contact the church office if you have any questions.
