January 24 | 3rd Annual Snowballs of Hope indoor snowball fight
It’s time to loosen up your throwing arm, and donate “magic” gloves, socks and hats for adults and children to help support those in need this winter. Ball them up and “deliver” them to Pastor Aaron and Pastor Jerry with your best shot during worship that day. Last year, about 400 pairs of socks, gloves and hats were donated. Our goal this year is to double the amount to 800! Donations benefit our Dinners On Us guests, recipients of our “Ugly Quilts” for the homeless and the Good Samaritan Network of Hamilton County.
