It's Time to Bring Back Your Baby Bottles! 

BABY BOTTLES BRING HOPE! For the last few weeks, our church has been helping to raise the much-needed funds for Today’s Choice to reach and serve women considering abortion. If you took a baby bottle, please  fill it with a check (made out to Today’s Choice) or cash and
return the bottle to the church on collection Sunday, February 15th OR fill a BOTTLE by visiting
friendsoftodayschoice.org – click DONATE Baby Bottle Campaign + your church name.
If you have any questions, please see our Baby Bottle Champions, Gavin & Sue Stobie.
