Immediately following the evening worship service, Sunset will be called

The Sonshine class is still saving “Best Choice” labels. We just sent off 1000 and will
receive back $60.00 which we will use for a missionary contribution. Best Choice brand is sold at
Ponca City Discount Foods and Food Pyramid stores. The UPC with Best Choice above or below it is all
that is needed. These can be left in the Sonshine class (to your right as you come in the front door
of the auditorium).
