December 3, 2019 is GivingTuesday, a worldwide day of appreciation for all that volunteers, missionaries, and ordinary people of our world do to make a positive difference.
Heart and Hands for Jesus asks you to be in consideration and prayer in the coming month for all that our own missionaries, Pastor Sally and Crosby and Pastor Herbert, do in God’s name to make Limon, Costa Rica and the surrounding area a better place for many. They made a choice to serve God every day as missionaries, not because it would result in material riches or things, but instead bring treasures of the Heart and Spirit. Funds collected will be utilized to support the work of Hearts and Hands for Jesus, International. Click here to donate: www.hh4j.org/ 
The Youth Fellowship will be selling Texas Roadhouse gift cards for the holidays. There will be a signup sheet for amounts from $5 to $100.

The Youth Fellowship will receive 10% of the gift card sales. These cards are good at any Texas Roadhouse location and make great Christmas gifts!
