HOH DIAPER FUND: The diaper fund is getting low! Sending diapers to Hands of Hope is on ongoing project. The Hope Chest drastically reduces the price of the diapers which allows mothers to provide the care and hygiene their babies/toddlers need. We would very much appreciate any contributions! Checks can be written to Eastminster Presbyterian Church (with Hands of Hope Diaper Fund in the memo line). Cash is also accepted in an envelope with a note that designates it for the Hands of Hope Diaper Fund. These both can be put in the offering plate or given to Julia in the church office.

We confess today that the blinders of our sin cover our eyes to evil and wickedness in our world. You made us in your image with a mind to know you, a heart to love you, and a will to serve you. But our knowledge is imperfect, our love is inconstant, our obedience incomplete. Day by day, we fail to grow in your likeness. In your tender love, forgive us. Open our eyes and remove our blinders to the ways that we can live as salt and light in your creation, and among the people that you love, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
