We’re hoping you’ll help to make someone’s day. Pull out the construction paper, scissors and glitter and create a Valentine for a man, woman or child in one of our shelters. Maybe include a favorite Bible verse about God’s love, a prayer or a short note of encouragement. You could even throw in a chocolate bar. Ask your mom or dad to deliver your creation to 1224 E Trent Avenue and we’ll make sure to pass it along to one of our guests. It’s sure to bring a smile and brighten someone’s day.
“And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity,” Colossians 3:14.
