Hope House Delivery

Friday we ran into our 1st problem. The Methodist Church takes Hope House items Monday-Thursday 9am-12pm. Patrick and the boys went to deliver and it was closed. So I was thinking of how I could get this stuff up there.

I prayed about this issue because I had put this task in the jar at least 4 times and I was going to run into this problem every time. Then I thought I wonder if 1st Baptist here would be able to become a "dropping" area for these items.

Sunday night Darren Braddy spoke about the Hope House and items they needed. As well as his life group is making a service project for getting items together for the Hope House. They thought the same thing "how awesome would it be for 1st Baptist to be a drop zone". God answered my prayer to a the letter...He is pretty good at that...LOL.

So last weeks mission is not complete yet but will be tonight.

On a side note...The Hope House is in need for items all the time. You can call and they have a list and specific items that they need weekly. I am planning Jackson's 9th Leggo Birthday Party and we are going to do a food drive instead of presents for the Hope House. The Student Council @ CHS is hosting a "Souper Bowl" dinner and all donations will go to the Hope House as well. So make plans for February 5 to attend the meal at one of the local churches. I think most of the churches are all helping host it and donating everything to the Hope House.

Also I wanted you all to know I cleaned out our pantry and added 4 items to what is being deliver. So I only spent 5 dollars(if that) on this task. If you are thinking about starting this but afraid of the expense try little things like cards for the Nursing Home or baked goods to your preacher. I think 5-7 dollars is the most we will ever have to spend on a project and 30 RAKs are less than a dollar to do. Just a FYI to help get you started!
