Kid’s Closet – Thank you for your continuous support of Kids' Closet. Our needs change constantly, depending on the ages and genders of children who choose clothing each month. Kim Horne has prepared a "Clothes Line" that will display our current wish list. We hope you will choose items from the line, so that you will have them as reminders of requested sizes when you are shopping. And, as always, your children's outgrown clothes that are still in excellent condition are very much needed. No adult styles, please.

Anyone who is interested in performing in Northeast’s upcoming Talent Show, please see Angie Hyche. More details will be available soon.

Coats for Kids: Coats will soon be, if not already, going on sale so be on the look-out for some real bargains. New coats and used coats that are clean are needed in all sizes from infant to adult. Make sure there are no tears, missing buttons or broken zippers. Please place the coats in the barrel under the stairway downstairs. Your generosity and support in this ministry is very much appreciated. - Janyth Riley
