Philoptochos Needs Your Help!

The Philoptochos is collecting both jogging suits and baskets for the shut-ins.

Jogging suits will be donated to the Mental Health Association of Forsyth County. The suits are for the patients at Novant and Wake Forest Baptist Medical Centers.

Suits should have no drawstring in the pants and a pull over style top. Does not have to be lightweight. All sizes needed but, the majority needed are large, XL and XXL.

We would like to hit the goal of 50 suits.

We are also looking for baskets with preferably a 10-inch diameter that we can fill with goodies for the Shut-ins in our community.

We thank you all for your generous donations for the benefit of our community.

 


Apolytikion of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker

A model of faith and the image of gentleness, the example of your life has shown you forth to your sheep-fold to be a master of temperance. You obtained thus through being lowly, gifts from on high, and riches through poverty. Nicholas, our father and priest of priests, intercede with Christ our God that He may save our souls.



 The Warm - Up America group will have a Christmas Party on Monday, December 13th, 10 AM - NOON.

Please bring a Dessert to share.
