President's Notes:
President's Notes: Again this year, the Bible Club will be collecting warm clothes for the men at the "Helping Up Mission" in Baltimore. (This is the mission where Reverend Gary Byers ministers. He spoke at the club last year about his avocation of participating in archaeological digs in the Holy Land.) The mission is home to over 300 men seeking positive change in their lives. The overnight ministry (4:30pm to 6:30am) is limited to 50 men, and the 1-year residential Spiritual Recovery Program (SRP) is currently ministering to 160 men with near-term plans to increase to 210. They also have a Graduate Transitional Housing ministry for 50 SRP graduates to stay up to two years. Finally, they have >40 residential staff and graduate interns.
There is a need for warm accessories (sweatshirts, knit hats, gloves, and socks), toilet kits (nothing with an alcohol base), and shower shoes (flip flops). Please bring these unwrapped gifts to building 2, room 18 or contact our Bible Club President Bill Daniels at x6-7756 for more information. Thank you in advance for your generosity.
Matthew 2:5 - 6 (NASB): 'They said to him, "In Bethlehem of Judea; for this is what has been written by the prophet: 'AND YOU BETHLEHEM, LAND OF JUDAH, ARE BY NO MEANS LEAST AMONG THE LEADERS OF JUDAH; FOR OUT OF YOU SHALL COME FORTH A RULER WHO WILL SHEPHERD MY PEOPLE ISRAEL.' " '
