Each year along with Christmas Eve services, Hope has a
Church School Christmas Program, Hanging of the Greens Sunday and a Living
Nativity Sunday. Instead of letting the
beauty and meaning of the season slip away, enjoy a few photos of Christmas at
Hope. Remember, when Jesus came into the
world, immediately he needed others to care for him. There are still those who vulnerable--who
need the care and compassion. In honor
of Jesus, take a moment to be kind. Find
ways to give.
For instance, Hope
UMC raised $500 for the “Nothing but Nets” on the Christmas program
Sunday. $10 buys a net to save an
African child from Malaria caused by mosquito bites. You may still purchase nets if you wish--with
a PayPal donation on the website (all Pay Pal
donations in January will go toward “Nothing but Nets.” Or, you may mail a check to Hope UMC, 3166 197th St.
E., Faribault, MN 55021. Or, you may visit the “Nothing but Nets”
website. (You’ll notice in the pictures
we have a huge flowing net in the background as a reminder there are still ways
to care for God’s children.
