Donations Needed - New Hope Baptist Church is putting together a 'North Pole Express Christmas Store' which is a community outreach event that makes giving presents to loved ones possible for children who could not otherwise afford such a gesture. This store will allow kids to come and shop for gifts for their loved ones free of charge. They are asking if each of our Applewood families would feel led to donate 2 - 3 unopened rolls of wrapping paper so the gifts can go home with children already wrapped and ready to be gifted. If you would feel led to help in this way, please have your donations dropped off in the school office by Wednesday, November 29th.
