GIFTS OF HOPE — 2007 |
|
The GIFTS OF HOPE market is your opportunity to purchase unique gifts that honor Christ's birth and benefit our Synod's social ministry organizations and foreign companion synods. Now in its 16th year, it has raised over $2 million to help people in need in our community and around the world! Consider the possibilities for honoring each other and our God with these alternative gifts. There are items for every pocketbook at prices from $3 to $250. For each purchase, you receive a card with an insert describing your gift selection. Mail or give the cards with insert to family members and friends. Gifts of Hope will be available for purchase in the narthex between the services and after the 11:00 service through Sunday, December 16. Select the gifts you wish to purchase from the Gifts of Hope Catalog. Fill out an Order Form and bring or mail it to church. Checks should be made payable to RELC with "Gifts of Hope" in the memo line. |

| Gifts of Hope benefits the social ministry organizations (SMOs) formally affiliated with the Metropolitan Washington DC Synod, the Synod’s three companion synods, and two camps. And every penny received goes directly to the beneficiaries. The social ministry organizations, companion synods and camps are explained in the Gifts of Hope catalog. | |
| Whether you give Gifts of Hope to share your faith and blessings, to advocate for a simpler lifestyle, to support a particular organization, for convenience — or for all these reasons — we thank you for your commitment to Gifts of Hope. |
