HYGIENE KITS FOR THE HOMELESS
Happy New Year! Because of your generosity, 140 hygiene kits were made in 2024! Many have voiced their appreciation for the toiletries as well as the warm blankets, hoodies and beanies to comfort them this winter. Their faces light up when I have extra items like towels, baby wipes, band aids, gift cards and foot powder! May our gifts lift their spirits, offer hope and allow them to be seen and heard rather than be ignored. Last, thank you for making this ministry possible and let me know if you have any questions.

Blessings,
Donna Mapel

FLOWER DEDICATIONS
Grace the altars in the church and the chapel throughout 2025 by signing up for a flower dedication for a week or two. Arrangements in the church are $75, and in the chapel, $55.
The sign-up flower charts are in the church narthex and at the back of the chapel. There is an envelope near the chart that you can use for your check and the dedication. If paying by check, remember to put "altar flowers" in the memo section. You can drop the envelope in the collection plate or drop it off in the secure box by the office.

CLAY KITCHEN AT ORANGE PARK SENIOR CENTER
We help with the meals at the Orange Park Senior Center. Our next date will be on February 22.
VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED to prepare food as well as serve and provide fellowship for those in need. Many of these folks enjoy having a conversation with them and it is as important as providing food.
If you are interested in volunteering, please contact John Phillips at jphillips653@aol.com
