HOPE ANNOUNCEMENT
1. Our first blood drive of 2019 will be held on Sat 2-9-19 (8AM-1PM) at 2200 Ashley Rd (Fellowship Hall). We need blood donors and volunteers to man the drive. We will be partnering with the Red Cross.
2. December through March historically are some of the coldest months in our region. The demand for shelter for the homeless in our city is stretched. Organizations like the Stratford Richardson YMCA stand in the gap and serve the overflow. We have been asked to partner with them for ROOM IN THE INN on Sat Feb 23rd from 4:30PM-6:30PM. We need volunteers to serve and have a meal with the homeless women that they will host on this night.
Please see a HOPE representative after service today or contact:
