OGHS Bulletin Insert
Today’s “Mission Stories” insert reminds us that the damage done to New Orleans and the Gulf coast five years ago has not all been repaired. But, God’s grace came through some 500 volunteers, including 33 from ABC, and $50,000 from OGHS. This has made a real difference in many lives.
“WE NEED YOUR HELP”
Today you will be given a folder with information and a form which we ask you to use to help us in the Young Adult Outreach effort. Please read the information, complete the forms and return them, with as many names as you can think of. Take extra blanks if you need them.
Thanks to all who donated!
Thank you to all who donated school supplies and to Wanda for volunteering her time to help yesterday morning. We helped about 3 times as many students this year as last. Close, if not over 300!! There will be a meeting on Wednesday evening to evaluate and find ways to make the process run even smoother next year.
