Thanksgiving Outreach

This year there are many families that need help to provide a Thanksgiving meal for their families. The Destiny Mission Team is partnering with the Men's Ministry to assist these families. We will be holding a Thanksgiving Food Drive for turkeys and all the trimmings, then organize the donations into food baskets that will be distributed to Destiny families as well as families in need at Brumby Elementary School.

We need everyone to support this effort by donating a frozen turkey along with 2 side items. You can also volunteer to help with the collections and preparing the baskets.

Food items needed:

Frozen Turkeys

Rice

Stuffing

Canned vegetables

Canned gravy

Cranberry dressing

Soft Drinks

Desserts (non-perishable)

What: Thanksgiving Food Drive

When: Sunday, Nov. 23

Brumby Landscape Clean Up

On Saturday, Nov. 22, Destiny’s high school youth group will be doing cleanup for the Brumby grounds.  They will be raking, pulling weeds, blowing off sidewalks, and whatever else needs to be done in order to make the Brumby grounds look even more beautiful for the holiday season.  We could use teenagers as well as adults who aren’t afraid to roll up their sleeves and get dirty! 

What: Brumby Clean Up

When: Sat. Nov. 22

Where: Brumby Elementary School

S.T.O.M.P. does Christmas

The Men's Ministry, in partnership with the Missions Team, is leading a church- wide initiative to deliver the essence of Christmas to children at Destiny. The goal is to raise $5000 that will be used to provide Christmas gifts for 100 Destiny children and families in need.

The Men of Destiny and members are encouraged to give $20 during "The Greatest Gift" campaign. You can make your donation at the S.T.O.M.P. table in the foyer anytime during Sunday services from Nov. 2 - Dec. 14

A small donation will make a big difference when we partner together to bless those in need at Destiny this Christmas!

What: $20 donation to provide gifts for needy children

When: Each Sunday from Nov. 2 - Dec. 14

Where: S.T.O.M.P. table in foyer

Christmas Outreach - Book and Video Drive for Madison Hills Apartments

The Madison Hills Apartments is preparing to open a new Activities Center where they will hold their After School Program and other activities for the residents. As part of the Brumby Collaborative and the PEACE Plan, we are conducting a Children's Book and Video collection drive to help stock the library for the new center.

We need your gently used children's books and videos, which we will present to the staff at Madison Hills for Christmas. This is a great opportunity to share the books and videos that your children once enjoyed, but no longer use, with other kids!
