Dear Hope Chest friends,

 

To make it easier to read back issues, I have compiled the following index, starting at the beginning of 2005.  You can read the articles by clicking on the links!  I have also included some other short messages that I sent.  There are other things that I haven't included, such as most of the Extras and Announcements messages.  If you are looking for something, but can't seem to find it, you may wish to do a search using the box at the upper right hand corner of the Hope Chest group page on the Asssociate.com list server at: https://welovegod.org/groups/hopechest/.  You can also click on any month (from March 2001, when I started using this ministry server) to see a list of messages for that month.

 

As a reminder, If you wish to change your address, simply send any message to [email protected] from your OLD address, and send a subscribe message to [email protected]  from your NEW address.   If you no longer have access to your old address, don't worry, because eventually the list server will automatically unsub an inactive account.

 

Blessings,

Virginia Knowles
