MISSIONS @ OUR LORDS
Milwaukee County Jail Holiday Project
Every year the Milwaukee County Jail has what is called a Holiday Project. At that time, the inmates are given a few items to mark the occasion. Among these items are a folder, sheets of paper, a stamped envelope, a pencil, an eraser, and a candy bar. The jail administration does not provide any funds; the volunteers pay for it all. This year, because it has been such a difficult time, the volunteers would like to add a few more items, such as a bag of chips, a piece of fruit, and/or items for the unit such as some games (deck of cards, dominoes, checkers) and a dictionary. These items may sound small, but they have to be bought for 700 inmates! If you would like to donate to this special event, please mark your donation in the memo box on your check as MCJ Holiday Project and mail to the church at 5000 S. Sunnyslope Rd., New Berlin, WI, 53151, or turn in at Drive-In Live worship on Sunday December 6th. Many thanks for your caring.
Books and Magazines for Milwaukee County Jail
The Milwaukee County Jail library volunteers plan to make a delivery of books and magazines to the inmates in time for the holidays. A collection will be made at the Drive-In Church service on
Sunday December 6th, 2020

Our Lords's Thanks ALL who donated items and money for
The Gathering!
The Gathering feeds the hungry in body, mind and spirit. During the COVID-19 pandemic, they have altered their format but are still feeding people with bag lunches and hot meals-to-go. From January-June 2020 they have fed almost 22,000 at four neighborhood sites!

The third annual NBF event was cancelled for 2020. We plan to hold the event again in 2021 when we can again gather safely. Look for us then, as we continue this tradition, working together to help feed our brothers and sisters in Christ.
