Christmas Greetings

“On behalf of the staff, we wish you all a blessed holiday season as you celebrate

the birth of Jesus and the ongoing growth of His work in your lives. We are grate-

ful to all of our volunteers who work beside us all year in the name of Jesus to

further His work here at Park Church and in the community. Have a wonderful

Christmas and New Year! May God’s kingdom come to earth and to our hearts

and homes.”

December is Diaper Donation Drive month. As you shop for Harring-

ton's Hope this month, pick up some extra diapers. The Nestlings ministry, the

first diaper bank of West Michigan, provides over 100,000 baby diapers per year to

low income families in our community. Diapers are a basic health necessity for

babies but are not provided by government assistance programs. You can help by

dropping your diaper donations at the Nursery between now and December 31.
