Hope Southern Indiana will host its seventh annual “Giants in the Faith” celebration when the community gathers to honor members of the public submitted for having had an impact on another’s Christian faith.

The event will be held at Huber’s Plantation Hall in Star-light, IN on Sunday, Aug. 4 from 1:30 to-3:30 pm. People of all sizes, ages, and personalities will be recognized for being an influence of Christ to others.

The luncheon will feature a buffet and will cost $25 for adults (12 and older), and $20 for children (4 to 11). There is no charge for children 3 and under, but they do need a reservation to attend.

Hope Southern Indiana will pay for each honoree. Submitters and other friends and family members are able to make luncheon reservations through July 17. Reservation forms will be available at our office, 1200 Bono Road, New Albany, at area churches, in area newspapers, and on line at www.hopesi.org, (Click on the

Giants in the Faith banner or access it through the programs drop down menu. )

Doors will open for the event at 1pm, (not before) and attendees will once again have free access to activities for all ages in the nearby Family Farm Park after the event until 6 pm, in addition to free drink refills all day. The Park includes a mountain slide, bamboo, tile & rope mazes, goat walk, pedal karts, pony rides, miniature tractors, and feeding of ducks & fish.

FAMILY ASSETS are relationships, interactions, opportunities, and values that help families thrive. They are the actions families take to build healthy relationships and healthy family members.

They are broken down by categories and we are in the category of Establishing Routines; this is a good one to establish. Most of us already do this, and may not even realize it.

Family Asset # 6: “Meaningful Traditions”: Holidays, rituals, and celebrations are part of family life.

Do you do something special for birthdays? Have a special meal? Have a “traditional” cake or cupcakes; or do you serve pie instead?

Do you have a “normal” thing you do together at Christmas? Baking cookies, wrapping gifts or donating something to a special cause? Putting up the tree as a family or decorating the church together?

Do you have a special way to celebrate July 4th, Independence Day, together? Enjoy!

For more information on Family Assets visit: www.search-institute.org/familyassets For more information on the 40 Developmental Assets visit: www. Hopesi.org or www.youthcount.com.

CLOTHE-A-TEEN SHOPPING TRIP

The Teens’ Shopping Trip is scheduled for July 30.

Any support you can give us to help Middle & High School Students age 13-18 return to school with some new school clothing would be greatly appreciated.

These teens have been referred to the program by a Caseworker or School Counselor, and have a definite need. Each eligible student will receive a $75.00 voucher to purchase new clothing. We will serve as many teens as possible.

We have applied for (and are still waiting to hear about) a $5,000 matching grant from Kosair Charities. We hope to receive enough donations to match it. Would you please pray about a donation for this program? If you designate it for CAT, it will be used strictly for that purpose.

If you have any questions or need more information, contact Carol at 948-9248 x 1804 or [email protected]

Thank you.

Hope Southern Indiana is a 501(C)(3) not-for-profit organization. Contributions are generally tax deductible. Please consult your accountant for details. Contact Christine Harbeson at 812.948.9248 to arrange a donation.
