The babies we "spiritually" adopted back in April are due to be born January 8, 2018.  To welcome them into the world, we are planning a Parish Baby Shower.  All parishioners are invited to participate.

Please purchase a baby item and bring it to church, unwrapped, beginning Saturday, December 30 through Monday, January 15.  Members of the Ladies of the Sacred Heart can consider this their "something extra" for January and bring gifts to the general meeting on January 8.  A display area will be set up in the narthex, and gifts can be left in the crib.  The donated items will be delivered to Catholic Adoption Services in Little Rock and local pregnancy centers in Hot Springs and Benton.

Items needed include:  preemie and other newborn clothes, newborn, size one and size two Pampers, scent-free and additive-free wipes and diaper bags, Disposable diapers (all sizes), and baby formula.  Also needed are crib sheets, blankets, clothing up to 10 months, powders, bath items, bottles, and just about anything else that parents need for a newborn baby.  PLEASE DO NOT WRAP GIFTS.
