Your Opportunity to Support the Missions Trip to Guatemala
Hi! We are Shannon & Grace Pressley, and Leah & Ella Browning—two mother and daughter teams that will be representing FPC church for a 10-day missions trip to Guatemala with FPC-supported missionary Edwin Martinez this Christmas Break. We are currently in the process of raising support for this trip, and we would like to make our church family aware of the opportunities that you have to support us.
Greeting Card Fundraiser
We are currently selling “Cards for a Cause” through Usborne Books. There are four different themed boxes of 30 different cards: Two different All Occasions boxes, a Kids Birthday box, and a box of mixed Thanks and blanks. These boxes sell for $30 a box and 40% of that goes to the mission trip cost. Below are links that show more details about the cards. If you are interested in purchasing a box, please see us at the Guatemala table after church this Sunday. We can accept cash or checks made out to FPC. Sunday, October 21st, will be the last Sunday we are selling them and accepting money. Check out this video to see the different boxes available, and this video to see some examples of cards from each box.
Christmas Gift Sale
For two Sundays sometime after Thanksgiving we plan to sell stocking stuffers and Christmas gifts that our families or friends have made. These dates are to be determined soon. Please plan to stop by our table after church and do some Christmas shopping! 100% of these proceeds will go to the trip.
Donations
If you would like to just make a donation to this mission trip please send a check to church made out to FPC with a note “Guatemala Trip” in the memo line.
Prayers
Last but not least we need your prayers to make this a safe and successful experience. If you are willing to pray for us before and during our trip we would love to know that. Please email Shannon Pressley at thepressleys@gmail.com to get on an email list that will receive updates and prayer requests while we are in Guatemala as well.
