Hope Chest Toy
Giveaway
Thanks to all who helped with the
Hope Chest Toy Giveaway on December 10th!
Approximately 325 adults were able to choose gifts for
their children. It was a great day. I am so
grateful to each of you who gave of your talents to make
this annual event a success.
The
West-Ark congregation has many servant hearts that just
keep on giving and doing. Please keep the Hope
Chest in mind as you start a new year and clean out
closets. That is where the toys start for 2012!!
Again, thank you. The Lord
was truly glorified by your efforts!
