Mission a Month - Operation Dry Bottom
| New Hope's mission for October is Operation Dry Bottom. Operation Dry Bottom provides diapers and pull-ups to The Howe Neighborhood Family Resource Center. The Center works with young at risk families (from prenatal through five years) on parenting and particularly supporting children to reach their developmental milestones so they will be school ready when they are five years old. 90% of their clients are very low income and find it difficult to come up with money to make ends meet, much less to buy diapers and pull-ups. So for the month of October New Hope will be supporting their program "Operation Dry Bottom" by collecting diapers. They need diapers of all sizes, however the biggest needs are larger diapers (sizes 4 - 6) and pull-ups. To donate diapers just bring them with you church and leave them in Room 102.
COMING NEXT MONTH - In November and December we will be collecting food for the holidays in addition to the desperately needed cereal, peanut butter, soup and hygienic products.

Single & Parenting Class
Help & Hope for Single Parents
| Every Wednesday at 6:45 p.m.
If you're a single parent, you're probably tired, overwhelmed and feeling a bit underappreciated. That's why New Hope is sponsoring a Single & Parenting group - to share tips and parenting wisdom that will help you find rest, hope and encouragement.
Other people don't truly understand how tough it is to be a single parent-day after day after day. Sometimes you want to give up. And that's a normal reaction-you're doing the job of two people. You should be tired.
The thing is, you deeply desire to do what's best for your kids, but you worry that you can't. Sometimes it's all you can do to survive from one day to the next.
So what can you do?
Single & Parenting groups address these concerns. You'll discover how to deal with your deep-down worries and your day-to-day struggles.
At a weekly Single & Parenting group, you'll meet with other single parents to learn and discuss some amazing parenting strategies and hope-filled insights.
The 13-week series meets Wednesdays at 6:45 p.m. The sessions are all stand alone so participants can join at any time in the series.
Anyone who can benefit is welcome to attend - please feel free to invite friends, relatives and neighbors to come.
More info is available online at singleandparenting.org
