BLANKET COLLECTION
FOR GRAND OAK MISSION CONTINUES
 Women on Mission will continue to collect blankets, large throws and quilts for Grand Oak Mission. Due to the extremely cold weather and the necessity to cancel some of our church services, the Blanket shower will continue through February 4. These blankets and quilts may be new or gently used. Please bring the items and place them in the tubs at the entryways to the church building. They will be delivered as they arrive. Thank you so much for sharing. You will be blessed for your generosity.

Security Volunteers Needed
Volunteers are needed to help with security. This is a very vital ministry within our church and takes many volunteers to make it happen. If you are interested in volunteering, please see Joe McLemore or let the church office know.

Deacon's Corner
With the busy schedule of the holidays, this is the first Deacon's Corner of the New Year.
 As I was looking for inspiration for this article, I couldn't help but think of;
"What does God have instore for National Heights for 2018?" With that said, Jeremiah 29:11 comes to mind,
"for I know the plans I have for you, "declares the Lord," plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope for the future.
I believe God will continue to bless NHBC in 2018. There are many blessings already in the making from our Envision Campaign to our many Life Groups, a wonderful attendance at our Children's Ministry Christmas events, new Ministries and if you haven't noticed, we have some new faces in our congregation.
So, I like to challenge everyone for 2018 to continue to pray for NHBC, our members, and all our activities in which NHBC sponsors to spread the word of God not only locally, but around the world. In addition, I want to challenge everyone to participate in some way in making NHBC that shining beacon which offers shelter and hope for all that not only need salvation, but nurturing in the spirit.
Scott Foley, Chairman of Deacons

WOMEN ON MISSION SCHEDULE WORK DAYS
Women on Mission will have two work days during the month of February in keeping with the February theme of "Loving Others." The first work day Is Tuesday, February 13 and the second one is Tuesday, February 27. Both begin at 9:30 in fellowship Hall. A coffee/snack/share time at about 10:15 will be under the direction of the hostesses. On February 13 the hostesses are Mildred Burns and Lois Wood. For the meeting on February 27 hostesses are Becky Bennett and Autumn Desmuke. Meetings end about 11:45.
Both of the February meetings will be spent making quilts for Grand Oak Mission, our Greene County Baptist Associational Mission Center here in Springfield. The mission center is located at 2854 West Grand Street. The Center serves a large number of families in various ways during the year. The needs continue to grow. This season of the year there are always requests for quilts and blankets. Due to the recent extreme cold and the cancellation of some of our church services in January, we will extend our Blanket Shower for Grand Oak Mission thru the first Sunday of February.
Our women make 10 to 12 large quilts and 70 to 80 children's and baby quilts each year. Darlene Gideon is the quilt chairman in charge of the large quilts and Mary McLemore continues as leader for the children's quilts. Workers are needed in both groups. Also needed are quilt tops of full and twin size that are ready to be tacked. They are tacked and finished by the group on work days. Seamstresses are needed to make quilt tops at home, by machine, either from material we supply or from a person's own stash. See Darlene Gideon for further information.
Also on Work Day, some of our women also work making salvation bracelets. These are used by the several mission teams from Greene County Baptist Association going to Mexico during the summer months on mission outreach. Last year National Heights Church sent 4,500 bracelets and aim towards that again this year. Doris Whitcher is in charge of the bracelet assembly. All supplies are provided by Women on Mission. Come and participate in the making. You will be a blessing and be blessed as well.

Dear National Heights Baptist family, iGracias! Thank you so much for your gift of support to The Jeremiah Project this year! Your giving not only helped send our family back to Guatemala as missionaries, but it also allowed over 80 children and teens to go to school, eat a healthy daily lunch, and learn and grow in a safe environment. And most importantly, you help us share the Father's love and hope in Christ with these kids and their families! Thank You!
In Christ's love,
~Larenda & Rony Orellam
The Ronald McDonald House is available to provide a "Home Away From Home" every single day of the year, including holidays. And during this time of year we are especially mindful of how many volunteers and donors contribute to the comfort, warmth and hope that these families so desperately need. On behalf of the staff and families whose lives are touched by our Ronald McDonald Houses of the Ozarks, please know that you exemplify the spirt of this season! Our heartfelt thanks go to our special friends, including you! Your donation of breakfast shakes, toiletries and mugs is perfect. We will enjoy adding these to our kitchen and individual bed and bath suites. From our House to yours, we thank you more than words can express!
