† CROSSLINES COLLECTION  Time to start thinking of Christmas!!  For the month of October we are collecting toys, art supplies, blankets/throws, mittens/hats, etc. for Crosslines for Christmas gifts for children of their clients.  If you can   donate any of these items for children age birth to 15 it would make the spirit of Christmas come alive for families in need.  These do not need to be wrapped as they will be wrapped at Crosslines for each family.  If you have any Christmas wrap to donate, that would also be very much appreciated.  There will be a  collection area in the Narthex.  Thank you so much for all of your support.
