MISSIONS

Shoebox Christmas Gifts
As you look for items to fill you shoebox Christmas gift, please be aware there are guidelines for inclusion. There can be no liquids or gels (bubbles, mouthwash, perfume, hand sanitizer, etc.) and items should be new, not gently used. The deadline for collection is November 19. All boxes must be checked before they are delivered to the pick-up location. I will be recruiting checkers for this task. Say “Yes.”

The next birthday celebration at the assisted living facility will be Wednesday, October 20 at noon. Jean and I will be out of the city and are depending on a few extra New Hope volunteers to fill our shoes.

How gracious you have been in responding to my “gentle reminders” of our collection of staple food items on the first Sunday of each month. Thank you especially to Trae Ford-Jones for delivering our donations to HUM.
