News from the Officer s Desk Can you believe the leaves are already changing colors? I love seeing all the vibrant colors as I drive around town. Some folks look at this time of year as a time of dying not me. I choose to see it as a time of preparing for new life! As we are preparing to enter into our extra busy season, we are also beginning preparations for the celebration of the birth of our Savior the reason we do all that we do. It s that time of year when we begin to think about what really motivates us to do all that we do. My hope and prayer is that you do it because of God s love for each and every person. Showing love is as simple as holding a door for someone, helping someone put their groceries in a car, paying for a cup of coffee for a complete stranger.so many ways to show our love to each other. The 2nd Annual Luncheon!, a success! Despite some slight technical difficulties, and the downtown construction...the event was a hit. We simply cannot thank the sponsors, donors, guests, volunteers, and staff enough for helping make this happen.

Main Street Newark, OH 055 Phone: Fax: northeastohio/newark October BIRTHDAYS Pam 10/02 strives to meet the basic needs of all who come seeking help. Taking immediate care of the basic human needs of food, shelter, clothing, and safety is an important first step in the development of a more positive and permanent life change in the people we help. It is essential to note that at no time will the participation in spiritual activities be required as a condition for receiving needed services. All service is given in the name of Jesus for meeting human needs and caring for hurting persons is in and of itself valued and is a spiritual ministry.
