Christmas Party 12-21-08!!!!

A Fresh Hope will be partnering with West Ridge Church, CAYA and Toys for Tot to host the Christmas Party for underprivileged children in Cobb, Paulding and Douglas Counties. The party will include a great show, food bags for the Christmas dinner, a visit with Santa, Toys and a party. We will have a store where the children can select a gift to give someone else. The children deserve the blessing of giving. This store will consist of new items from birth - adult. It can be bath beads, puzzles, gloves, etc. A lot of us have this sort of thing around your house that you will not use. These type of items are perfect for the store. We will roast marshmallows and have hot cocoa. We hope to even have a snow machine. We estimate we will serve 1000 families with over 1300 kids at this event.

What do we need?
* Prayer... Prayer that we are able to serve these families so they can have HOPE, see God's love through this outreach event
* Donations
* Toys- unwrapped
* Grocery gift cards
* Canned goods
* Items for a store
* Wrapping paper, gift bags, tissue, gift tags, tape

If you have any items you would like to donate, please send an e-mail to:
waverly@afreshhope.com

We are also selling raffle tickets right now and could use help selling the tickets. If you are willing to sell 15, 20 or 25 tickets, please let us know.

God Bless you,
Jennifer and Waverly
