Happy New Year!

Here are this year’s first Living Hope Happenings:

2020 Bible Club – Begins THIS Sunday, January 5^th. It’s not too late to join. The plan is to start reading on the 5^th and we’ll meet for lunch on Sunday, January 19^th after church to discuss what we’ve read so far. You can sign up at hope336.com or via a kiosk at the rear of the auditorium. Send Scott Goldston an email if you have any questions: sgoldston411@gmail.com.

Special Need – one of our own has had an unexpected expense come up and could use some financial help. It’s a tough time of year, but please prayerfully consider donating. We’ll be collecting money for the next few weeks, just note “special need” on your check memo line or envelope. Thank you in advance for any help you’re able to give.

Local Nursing Home Need – Cheryl Mosca works at an assisted living facility. She and some co-workers have made a list of some common need items of the residents there. As you’re shopping in the near future, consider picking up a few items.  We’ll be collecting over the next few weeks – you’ll see a box where you can drop off your donations. Needs include: Lap Blankets (you can find them at Wal-Mart for $3.00), books, shower gel (men or women), slip-on slippers, combs & brushes, shampoo, crayons, toothpaste & toothbrushes, cotton socks, ballpoint pens, coloring books, tablets (paper), handiwipes (trial size), mouthwash, cards & stationery, lip balm, lotion (especially dry skin) or scented soap. 

Food Pantry – Our food pantry (Yes! We have one for church family or community needs, spread the word) could use some re-stocking. Consider adding a few of these items to your shopping list: canned meats, peanut butter, jelly, pasta, pasta sauces and sides. Bring them in and place on steel table in kitchen. Heidi Markar will add them to the pantry shelves. Thank you!!
