Christmas Toy Drive – November 1st – December 19th:  It is almost Christmas time again and this year we are going to get a jump on it with doing a toy drive to support the Christmas Toy Distribution we do on Christmas Eve.   This year the Teens are helping lead the way by working with their local sport teams, clubs and organizations to run a toy drive.  We will also ask local businesses for assistance as well as collect toys from the church.  If you would like to help be a part of the Toy Drive and you think your office, apartment building, or local business can help or if you have other questions, please contact Brad Jens at 904-327-2600 or send him an e-mail at wbj3569@yahoo.com.  He will give you a letter from Hope explaining the time frame we will be doing the Toy Drive and provide a box for the toys.  We will also be doing toy collection here at the church.

JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA – Albert G. Russell, 90, passed away Monday, January
4, 2010 in Jacksonville, Florida. Albert was born February 22, 1919 in
Adrian, Michigan. He was preceded in death by his wife of 69 years Viola
Kintner Russell who passed away October 1, 2009.

A Memorial Service is set for Sunday, January 17, 2010 @ 3:00 pm at the
Jacksonville Church of Christ

The Lord has taken home a great servant and brother in Albert Russell.
Albert and his wife Viola who passed away this past October 1st, were both
faithful servants for HOPE worldwide Jacksonville after moving here from
Michigan where they began quilting Lap Robes for seniors. They brought their
talents and love here to Jacksonville and offered a valuable addition by
quilting these robes with our volunteers for seniors and new mothers. A Lap
Robe from the Russell’s was a treasure and cherished by each person. They
taught others and joyfully served into their late 80’s. A great example of
older men teaching the younger, Albert brought a great heart and spirit into
each conversation and visit. His laugh and smile brought joy to many and he
was a great dominos player too.  We will miss him dearly but his legacy will
live on in each of us who have known Albert and feel his love and care in
each lap robe he and Viola helped inspire. The HOPE worldwide – Jacksonville
Chapter Lap Robe program has been one of our longest running and most
effective programs creating more than 500 lap robes over the past 10 years.

 The Women’s Ministry of the Jacksonville Church of Christ cordially invites you to join us for Women’s Night, Saturday, January 30th, 7 pm – 10 pm in the church’s gymnasium.  Come and be inspired by the entertainment and our guest speaker, Dian Knight.  Together we will imagine God’s great plan for each of us in 2010.  The cost is $10.

Dessert and coffee will be served.  No child care will be provided.
