The needs this year are for men's underwear, sizes 28-44, women's underwear, sizes 5-11, coats for men and children, all sizes and winter clothing for men. NO CAPS OR SCARVES PLEASE. The collection will take place this year for three weeks beginning thru Sunday, December 12. Please place your donations under the tree in the Narthex.
We will meet at 2:00pm in the parking of Mt. Hope Nazarene Retirement Community, 3026 Mt. Hope Home Road, Manheim. Please dress warmly because we will be singing on an unheated porch. They would welcome individually wrapped treats too! The softer the better and no peanuts or peanut butter – like a soft brownie, or blondie brownie bar, soft cookies such as a snickerdoodle or a soft sugar cookie with icing or just even a sugar cookie with Christmas sprinkles, soft lemon bar, even breads like a banana, blueberry pumpkin bread etc. Total of about 50 individual baggies with one for each of our 50 residents would be perfect! Feel free to contact Kris Gray if you have any questions.

MISSION TRIP – JUNE 18-24, 2022
A
destination has been chosen for the June 2022 mission trip! We are happy to
announce that we will be serving the community of Red Bird Mission in Kentucky.
It will be wonderful to return to this area and help those who are in need and
could use a hand to complete home repairs. The mission trip will take place
from Saturday, June 18 – Friday, June 24. We have already had one successful
fundraiser to offset the cost of our trip, and another is planned for the
spring. Anyone interested in more specific details should speak with
Chuck or Gail Ruhl. A sign-up sheet for this mission trip is posted on the
bulletin board in the narthex.
