MIDDLETOWN, New York--For two and a half years, children in Middletown have been involved in a Hugs Through the Mail program where they create cards for those who need them (for example: get well, missing you, encouragement).
The children, ages 4 to 15, take blank cards and put their own designs and messages on them. After that I take them home and mail them on Monday morning.
People who have received these cards have said how much it means to them when they open a card from the children. The children have great joy in doing this program. They feel they are involved in the church, and they are sharing God's love with others.
Some of the older children help the younger children with their cards. This program shows the youngsters that they can let their lights shine as well.
If you know of anyone who could use an uplifting card, contact Susan Goodfriend at sgood42@juno.com or sue_goodfriend16@hotmail.com
