On September 11th from 9a until 3p the Hoxworth Blood Donation Van will be at Emmanuel United Methodist Church.  We would like to have a filled appointment book for donations from our community.  Please consider donating blood to a wonderful organization for a great cause.  We are now taking appointments  for donations.  The appointments are 9am to noon and noon to 3pm, four appointments every fifteen minutes.  You may comment below regarding any time slot you are interested in, or you may contact Diana Moore with a time by leaving a message at 752-2544.

There is also a sign up sheet in the church lobby.

Participating as a community can save lives. For participating in this generous gift to others, Emmanuel United Methodist Church would like to offer you a free meal as a token of our gratitude for your participation. 

We encourage you to share this information with others who may also wish to donate. 

Let us count the wondrous blessings we have each recieved and give the gift of life to someone in need.  Please mark your calendars.  A vast amount of people are at risk when the blood bank gets low.  Help us do our part.

You may be the person to help someone in need.....

God bless you and thank you,
