Inexpensive Ways to Give Back

Looking for an inexpensive way to give back this year?

$5 will buy 2 pairs of shoes. Shoes for someone that has never worn shoes or doesn't have any shoes now.

Swap Success

Here are some photos from the Hope Swap this past weekend. 1252 people graced the doors of our church and were able to take home literally tons of donated clothing and toys. FOR FREE!

I love being a part of this outreach. I think Julianne just does an amazing job in pulling it all together. Her heart is so sincere for this cause. It is so awesome that the folks in our church and community are able to drop off things they don't need anymore and then come and pick up what they do need.

I was also very impressed with the amount of help that she had this year. Thank you to everyone that came out to collect, sort and serve at the swap!

Start saving your clothes and toys for the next one and stay tuned here for details!

Loaves and Fishes

A note from Aliene :

Glory to God!
The Lord took our little bits and together we are able to give New Life Ministries over $900! I cannot thank you enough for your giving hearts, and taking time to listen to the girls. They were SO BLESSED by your generosity.

The money is enough to sponsor a girl at camp this summer. I’ll bring the picture of Nadya Urina next week. And so the seeds sown today will blow far away to the Ukraine to plant the gospel in the heart of one who needs Jesus.

A beautiful flower will grow – all beause of you. And one who was told ‘you will never amount to anything’ will find hope again, in Christ!

Thank you from Restoring Hope

Ladies,
Thank you so much for all of the items you brought for the White Flag Shelter.

I think you collectively brought almost $300 in gift cards in addition to all the needed items. I am sure they will not need paper towels for a year!

Thank you especially Mary Ellen, Nancy, Kelly and the ladies from that small group for organizing the drop off, the donuts and juice and mostly for your special hearts toward the homeless.

Here is a little note of thanks from Stephanie, founder of Restoring Hope:

"I don't really have the proper words to thank you enough for all that you've done for the homeless ministry. I am overwhelmed, to say the least. I wish I could thank every single woman who so generously gave today but please at least share with them my deep appreciation. It was such a pleasure being there today and seeing all these incredible women! I certainly felt God's presence there today. Thank you for being the "link" for the homeless ministry.

Blessings, Stephanie"
