It is hard to believe 2008 is over, but today is January 3, 2009, so it is. 2008 got a late start on being highly productive for me personally, but it is better late then never so, I plan to get things rolling for 2009. Here is a run down of upcoming projects for you to consider supporting, please spread the word. If you have a blog please "tag" this blog or feature us to help reach others that may be interested in participating.
Collecting gently used household items, "Self-help (household management, cooking, parenting, mood control, ect.) Encouraging books, biographies that inspire (Joni Eriksen-Tada, Beth Moore, ect), Devotional books, (Purposeful, useful, inspiring). Call for pickup in Youngsville/Wake Forest/Louisburg or to meet somewhere for other places {Dot Wiggins- 761-8069}
Starting the "Closet of Hope"
Need donations of household items, paper products (toilet paper, paper towels, paper plates and cups), $10. and $25.00 gift cards, Toiletry items.
Needing "Hostess/Coordinator of teams of comforters and and Encourager's" for hospitality needs that come up (deaths, illnesses, family issues, just needs in general) . If interested email me at dotwigg@nc.rr.com with your name and phone number and email address and I can get you more information and add you to the list.
The last project is kind of a fun, yet need driven thing. "Fun, Popular yet Clean and Purposeful entertainment.
Looking for Christian artists first, but they need to be relevant and interesting. The music beats need to be Fast, Hard Rock and energized. There are good rock songs out there that can provoke good conversation and thinking in those that listen. Music makes suggestions but it cannot be blamed for all the attitudes and bad thinking and behavior, it just encouraged them, but we can change it with positive and encouraging messages. The group that sings "Wake Me Up Inside" Ever... is a good example. There are also some new songs out by Metallica (Sad but True and some others), Linkin Park (Broken, Breaking A Habit..). There are also several Young bands that could be encouraged to write and play music with good lyrics and possibly scriptural references that we could help promote and make popular.
Hoping to locate some of these local bands and organize or help promote concerts and CD distribution/sells.
These are the things we have so far. If you have a up and running project that you support and would like to recommend or have a suggestion for something email me or comment below.
Join in, and help recruit people to join and serve. Together we can make a difference.
