Mission of the Month: Helping Kids Stay Warm
As the temperatures drop, it's time for everyone to bundle up in warm clothing. However, not all children have access to the gear they need to stay comfortable during the winter months. This December, Salem has a wonderful opportunity to make a difference and truly shine in our community. All donated items will be used by the Cedar Rapids Community School System, to make certain those in need stay warm.
Items needed :
Hats
Scarves
Mittens/gloves
Earmuffs
Monetary contributions are also welcome.
Your generosity will help ensure that every child has the essentials to stay warm and safe.
Donation Guidelines
• Donations will be accepted until the end of 2025.
• Donations may be placed on the tree or in the gift boxes near Mission Control Center (in Fellowship Hall).
• Please donate only new items to guarantee safety and comfort for all recipients.
Thank you for supporting this important mission and helping us bring warmth to kids in our community!

Mini Mission
Annually Salem UMC has rallied and provided books for VanBuren Elementary School. These books are given to kids to take home to support their reading experience after school hours. Books can be brought to Salem and be placed around the Communion Table during office hours or at Sunday Worship.
Please reach out with questions or ideas for the Mission Team to Sandy Andreasen.
As always, we are on the lookout for friends who would like to know more about and participate in this group!
