This summer Camp S.P.L.A.T. is collecting napkins, paper plates & bowls for Aloha to Aging. We are also collecting personal care products (travel/hotel size) shampoo, toothpaste, deodorant, bar soap, mouthwash, and washcloths, hair brush and combs for Atlanta Center for Self-Sufficiency. There will be bins in F015 each Sunday in June and July for the children to bring their donations at 9:30 or 11:00. We will update the children weekly throughout the summer regarding the collections that have been received and would love to have the children package the hygiene kits if we have enough supplies. This is a wonderful opportunity while shopping with your children this summer to discuss missions and how their contributions can help serve the least of these, Matthew 25:34-40.
Help Georgia's Severely Abused Kids - Murphy-Harpst Children's Center is a non-profit organization that provides abused children with behavioral therapy, healthcare and educational services to give them a real chance at life. Each child arrives with his or her own tragic story. Most have suffered extreme emotional, sexual and physical abuse, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Most have never had a stable place to live with consistent care and regular meals. Many arrive with all their worldly possessions in a single bag and have been declared unmanageable by the foster system. Murphy-Harpst exists because these children need our help. With our services, they can grow up to hold jobs, maintain relationships and become productive members of their communities. To make a donation, please make your checks payable to Mt. Bethel with "Murphy-Harpst" on the for line.
Habitat for Humanity - Road Race Sponsors Needed. Construction of Mt. Bethel's 32nd Habitat Home will begin in September. The October Habitat Road Race provides much of the funding for the Habitat homes we build. Please consider becoming a race sponsor (business, personal, small group, etc.). Depending on level of sponsorship each sponsor's name or logo will appear on the race t-shirt, all signage and race materials reaching thousands of Cobb County and metro Atlanta residents. Your support will help another deserving family escape poverty housing and realize their dream of home ownership.
