Cultivating Hope
This spring season, the Matthew 25 Ministry Hub is organizing an effort to help beautify some of the flooded neighborhoods by placing decorated flowerpots on street corners and planting flowerbeds. If that sounds like fun to you, there are lots of ways you or your group can get involved. The next big event is May 16th. Open this document to find out more details: Cultivating Hope Flier.
Fill the Shelves… with board games, sports equipment and books!
A little over a month ago, Courtney and I walked into a flooded house. The house was a lot like other flooded houses we have been in: wavy floors, the smell of mold, paint peeling off the walls. One thing caught our eyes that day. As we walked from one room to the other, lying on the floor was a baseball glove. It was then we knew we needed to add a few more items to our traditional spring “Fill the Shelves” book drive.
So, here is the deal. In addition to collecting new or gently used books, this year we want to do more. We are adding new or gently used sports equipment and board games to the list. I mean, can you imagine a summer without bats, balls, gloves, jump ropes and board games? How boring would that be?
All you need to do to help out is set up a Fill the Shelves Collection at your church. We are hoping items can be collected between now and May 17. If your church plans to do a collection, please use this flier to advertise the collection: Fill The Shelves Flier.
We are writing this end of the year letter to you with a profound sense of thanksgiving and hope in the midst of difficult times. As you know, giving thanks and offering hope in the midst of hardship is the Christian way. We believe in the power of new life to overcome death and of light to overcome darkness. The response from all of you to the flood of 2008 has validated these beliefs.
Matthew 25 Ministry Hub is thankful to the many organizations and individuals that sponsor us through their financial contributions and volunteer hours. We encourage you to thank them for their support.
