We will be opening up the church to families in the Banks community to come and play. Many families with little one often feel isolated during the winter months as ther are not many places to go that are affordable, family-friendly, safe, and clean.

We would like to create a free play center for families to enjoy one another and to meet other in their community.

We are calling this play center Hearts and Hands.

Hearts: loving others like Christ and bringing community together.

Hands: playing and getting some energy out!

Our goal is to open the first Friday in March (10AM-1PM). We need some help to make that possible! We are asking for volunteers to help with building a race car track, prepare crafts, set up, tear down, cleaning toys, and garage sale/goodwill seekers for needed toys/crafts.

If interested, please contact Trista.

We are going to spend this new year praying for our Dayspring kids. We will add your children, grandchildren, etc. to a list and the congregation can be praying for them throughout the year as the Lord leads. Tracy will be updating the list each month as names come in. You can simply add a child’s first name or include more details about specific requests. The request basket and list of names is located at the church entry table.

What would you do if you suddenly had excruciating pain in your brain and spine, and the doctor tells you to relocate? What if you also had an autistic Down Syndrome child and the house you bought at the recommendation of a reputable contractor, is a money pit?

That’s exactly what happened to Gina. She needs your prayers above all, but also your help. James 2:16 says, “If one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace; keep warm and well fed’, but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it?”

Gina has debilitating pain yet is working to support her daughter and herself. She was advised by her doctor to lesson her stress, so she moved to Michigan where she has found an excellent school for her daughter. After many repairs, her home is still unlivable. She is forced to rent util repairs can be completed but has run out of funds.

Gina did her best to avoid these problems — now she needs your help. She’s been told it will take $75k to make the house livable. Please consider donating to help Gina finish repairs on their home. Search “Gina and Heather Ann” on gofundme.com

YOU CAN HELP is multiple ways: 1) Donate via GoFundMe. 2) Go to GoFundMe and share the link on social media. 3) Copy and display this flyer in any location.

Any amount is greatly appreciated. God bless you! I am writing this for the Dugan’s daughter Gina Borino — George Daskalakis
