Mission Projects Want to get involved with Missions at Hunton Baptist Church? We have many seasonal and ongoing projects at Hunton Baptist Church so that you can get involved in God's mission.  It can be as simple as donating a used ink cartridge or as involved as swinging a hammer.  Whatever your skill and ability, God can use you! (Hunton assists with Habitat for Humanity in 2008) Ongoing Item Collection Projects: Bring the following items to the missions table in the hallway of the fellowship hall.  These items are collected all year long. Shawls - Most are handmade.  Given to local nursing homes. Blankets Used Eyeglasses - refurbished and given to the needy. Cell Phones - give to battered women's shelter.  Did you know that cell phone without service will still work for dialing 9-1-1? Ink Cartridges Hunton's Food Pantry (Check with Benevolence for inventory levels before donating) Here are a few deadlines for projects that we support in the Fall: September Raceway Ministry: Do you like to bake cookies?  Each year the Richmond Raceway Ministry collects cookies from local churches to give out as reminders of Christ's hospitality at the Richmond International Raceway.  To participate, please put 2-3 cookies (depending on the size) in individual bags and bring them to church by September 6th.  We will put labels on them that represent Hunton Baptist Church.  Please see Joan Lee for more information on this project. State Fair Mission Opportunity:  The Dover Baptist Association put together "Hospitality Bags" for the State Fair employees.  For this project, they need toiletry items such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, combs, shampoo, conditioner, hand aids, lip balm, soap, and tissues.  Items should be placed in gallon sized Ziploc bags.  Please place these items on the missions collection table or give them to Terry Wood by September 13th.     October Operation Christmas Child:  Start working on making Shoe Boxes for Operation Christmas Child.  We have set a church-wide goal collecting 100 boxes.  The deadline for collection is Sunday, November 15th.  For more information about where these boxes are delivered and what items are appropriate, visit www.samaritanspurse.org     November Coats for Kids:  Sponsored by Puritans Cleaners, we are collecting coats for kids.  Because many older children wear adult sizes, adult coats and jackets are permitted as well.  Bring the coats to church no later than November 29th.     December Sponsoring Christmas Families at Local Schools:  Sunday School classes at Hunton Baptist Church sponsor families from local schools who are in need for Christmas.  Please discuss this project with your Sunday School class.  If any other group within the church would like to participate by sponsoring a family, please contact Terry Wood or Joan Lee.         For information about any of the above projects, please email Terry Wood.   Mission Groups at Hunton Baptist Church WMU - promoting missions at Hunton through education, devotion, and hands-on projects.
