LINKS Calendar

Contact your LINKS missionary regularly. They love to receive

cards/notes in the mail, but it may not be possible for them

to respond to all correspondence. Use the following calendar as atemplate for planning the LINKS portion of your church year.

Information needed before completing your calendar (insert into

calendar):

•Birthdays for each family member, and anniversary of the missionaries (if you are assigned a missionary couple).

•Find out holidays that are especially meaningful to your LINKS

family. If they are from a country other than where you live,

they would be thrilled to know that you have taken the time

to help them celebrate those days. Or maybe there are some

holidays in their place of service that they like to celebrate; ask

them to tell your church about the customs surrounding the

holidays and what their family does to celebrate.

•Special events such as graduations, school sessions/holidays,

etc.
