Join Community Missions as we bless our communities, near and far, this Christmas season!

** Coats and Blankets - Community Missions will be accepting donations of new or gently used coats and blankets for use in our various ministries. Please place your donations in the Community Missions bins around campus.

** Christmas Cards for Air Force trainees - Bless our local trainees in Basic Training. Cards are an unusual opportunity to speak into the lives of your men and women going into our U.S. Air Force. Turn in your completed cards to the Unity Hall table on Sunday or the church office during the week. No cookies or candy this year. Please follow the guidelines given here:

** Kicks for Kids - Bless one of our Wednesday night basketball kids with new basketball shoes and a Bible. Share your gifts with them at a Christmas meet and greet on December 18. Click here for more information.

** Donate a Bible -

1. Faith Comes By Hearing - You can provide God's word. Your gift today helps provide Audio bibles in the heart languages of people around the world. https://www.faithcomesbyhearing.com/get-involved/give
2. Gideons International - Bless our local chapter with support to purchase Bibles to distribute in our area. For example, the local Gideons group recently distributed almost 4,000 Bibles at San Antonio College. The Gideons praise God for the opportunity to distribute His Word to the lost and plant seeds for His Kingdom.
