 Upcoming Events:

HOPE Youth Corp… If you are interested in participating as a student or in supporting our students who wish to participate, please contact Jim or Debbie Mackie for more information, contact information provided below…

HOPE WorldWide Mentoring opportunities available this summer: Several of our students from the HOPE WorldWide Saturday Academy are interested in having a mentor for at least the summer months and perhaps into the next school year.  These are outstanding students who live in a high risk environment but have a great desire to drive to succeed in life.  You can be a part of that by just giving an hour a week to one of these students.  Male and female elementary and middle school students are available.  Time is well spent by just doing what you do and incorporating someone in your life, take them shopping, teaching good eating habits, attending a museum, concert, sports event, go to the pool, etc. 

Please contact Jim or Debbie if you are interested or just want to learn more about all stated events at 292-2535 or 477-9291.

JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA – Albert G. Russell, 90, passed away Monday, January
4, 2010 in Jacksonville, Florida. Albert was born February 22, 1919 in
Adrian, Michigan. He was preceded in death by his wife of 69 years Viola
Kintner Russell who passed away October 1, 2009.

A Memorial Service is set for Sunday, January 17, 2010 @ 3:00 pm at the
Jacksonville Church of Christ

The Lord has taken home a great servant and brother in Albert Russell.
Albert and his wife Viola who passed away this past October 1st, were both
faithful servants for HOPE worldwide Jacksonville after moving here from
Michigan where they began quilting Lap Robes for seniors. They brought their
talents and love here to Jacksonville and offered a valuable addition by
quilting these robes with our volunteers for seniors and new mothers. A Lap
Robe from the Russell’s was a treasure and cherished by each person. They
taught others and joyfully served into their late 80’s. A great example of
older men teaching the younger, Albert brought a great heart and spirit into
each conversation and visit. His laugh and smile brought joy to many and he
was a great dominos player too.  We will miss him dearly but his legacy will
live on in each of us who have known Albert and feel his love and care in
each lap robe he and Viola helped inspire. The HOPE worldwide – Jacksonville
Chapter Lap Robe program has been one of our longest running and most
effective programs creating more than 500 lap robes over the past 10 years.

HOPE worldwide Jacksonville Chapter is helping to support 100,000 Orphan children impacted by HIV/AIDS through their Centers of HOPE worldwide in seven countries. Please support “The Human Race” a 5k walk – run event on Saturday October 10th at the St. John’s Town Center. Walk – Run – or “Just give $10″ to support this great work.” Watch this video to learn more about the needs in Africa.”
