Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Nora and I wish all of you a very Happy Christmas Season!

The offices of SHS and MSC will be closed Tues, 12/24 & Wed, 12/25 in order for all of us to spend time with our family and friends. We will be back to serve you on Thursday, 12/26.

We will also be closed on Jan 1, 2025 in celebration of the New Year.

Celebrating the Light

During this 1st week of Advent, we have entered a special time of opportunity to reflect on the gift that is coming. Christmas celebrates Jesus, the Light of the World, coming to a dark and hurting humanity. His birth brought hope to all who felt forgotten and oppressed. As followers of Christ, we’re called to continue His mission by showing love and compassion to others, especially during the holiday season. Acts of generosity, no matter how small, can be powerful ways to bring light to someone’s darkness.

Giving to others, especially those in need, is a tangible way to demonstrate His love. As we serve, we allow God’s light to shine through us, bringing hope to those who may feel discouraged or overlooked. What you do is important in so many ways, not the least of which is how your actions can reflect God’s love. Thank you for all you do.

Turkey DROP!!

Thank you for hearing the call to help our community this Thanksgiving. SHS caregivers made donations that were matched by the agency to the annual Mel Trotter Ministries Turkey Drop on Nov. 20. In its 21st Turkey Drop, Mel Trotter Ministries collected over 6,000 turkeys for those in need in West Michigan. Thank you for your help!
