Viet Nam/Cambodia Benefit Banquet – last day to purchase tickets

A group of Vineyard Boise’s own young adults and college age students have given up a part of their Christmas vacation to travel to Vietnam and Cambodia. These individuals will help supply much needed rice to orphans and street kids as well as put on a Christmas Carnival for these children. To raise funding for this outreach, they will be holding a “Christmas in Asia 2006” Benefit Banquet. This will be held in Heritage Hall at 6 p.m. on Saturday, October 28. Tickets are being sold for a minimum suggested donation of $10. This will be a classy sit down meal event, with live classical/jazz musical entertainment. Come support this outreach and enjoy a great evening of food and fellowship! Tickets will be sold out in Heritage Hall today after both services or you can purchase your Banquet tickets at our Vineyard Book Cellar any time during normal store hours. For more info or if you have questions, contact Krissy Fulton for more information, krissyfulton@gmail.com.

Ministry to the Incarcerated – Recycle your books and yarn!

Set women free on the inside!  Let your generosity be a turning point in the life of an incarcerated woman. Their need is very great!  We will be helping the Pocatello Women State Corrections build a good Christian library and replenish their supply of yarn to knit baby articles for the hospitals this year.  So, if you have any unwanted Christian books, used or new, large print Bibles, and/or new or unused yarn, please place them in the container just outside our bookstore in Heritage Hall for the next few weeks!  The ladies will be blessed and very grateful!

Ladies Retreat Reunion and Baptism night

Since the fall retreat in 2004 our retreat facilities have not been set-up for baptisms. In the past, a retreat was a wonderful place to be baptized at. We are planning a baptism party and dessert on Wednesday, October 25 so we can baptize ladies who have wanted to be baptized in the past. So ladies, if this is you, please plan to attend this special event. This is going to be great party. Linda Stevens will be speaking to us again and dessert and coffee will be provided. For more info or if you have questions, RSVP to kate.frank@vineyardboise.org or call the church office, 377-1477.
