Shoebox Christmas Gifts
Beginning mid-August plastic shoeboxes will be available at a cost of $1.00. You may choose to fill a box for either a boy or a girl with small toys, hygiene items and school supplies. Starting now will allow you to find unique items at your leisure. If you chose to wrap the gift, please wrap the box and lid separately. You may also include a Christmas card, note or photo. New Hope members donated 64 shoebox gifts in 2009 which was a “Hallelujah!” number.

HUM
Our donations to Halifax Urban Ministries were boosted somewhat this month by the addition of canned goods collected at Vacation Bible School last week. And speaking of youngsters, it’s almost back-to-school time. Consider donating peanut butter or individual snack/fruit cups for families with children.
