Putting faith into action opportunities:
Help with the new Christian Education Mission Project. Sunday School children, youth and adults are invited to bring paper products, including toilet paper, paper towels, napkins, and kleenex to be used by Tippecanoe Presbyterian Church for their program serving their homeless neighbors. Sunday School offerings will also be donated to support Tippecanoe’s homeless project. Items can be placed in the box at the back of the sanctuary or in the box on the 3rd floor of the CE building.

These items include black wool helmet liners. seaman scarves, and neck gaiters for the ground troops, soft wool hats in NFL team colors for medic units and those on ships, “cool ties” for all troops for use in the extreme heat and handmade Christmas ornaments.
