 February Missions Collection – Hope Totes
Have a Heart! Give Hope!
During February, we will be collecting hygiene items to be placed in “Hope Totes”. The Hope Totes are given to members of the community in need and for items that cannot be purchased with food stamps. Donate a complete kit which would include 1 of each item listed or you can donate 8 bottles of shampoo, 5 toothbrushes, etc. Drop off the filled bags at the Missions Table in Hospitality Hall.
Hygiene items needed include full sized:
Toothbrush, Toothpaste, Bar soap, Wash Cloth, Comb Razors, Shampoo, Deodorant
Questions, contact Cindy Svec, cindys@heritageumc.org.

 New Worship Banner – What is IXOYE?
You have probably seen the fish symbol. You may have even heard it referred to as “ichthus.” The letters IXOYE are an acronym. They stand for the first letter of five Greek words: Iesous Xristos Theou Yios Sotare which means Jesus Christ, Son of, God, Savior. The word is also Greek for ‘fish.’ The fish is an ancient Christian symbol from the first century. During times of persecution, Christians would scratch the symbol in the dirt to identify themselves. Pagans did not recognize its secret meaning.
