Do you have a positive story of inspiration and goodwill you would love to share, one that will bring hope and encouragement to others?

The Sunday Dispatch will publish the first MyOwn Faith and Family Directory in December and we want to include your own inspiring stories in both the print and online parts of this exciting new product.

MyOwn Faith and Family will celebrate the positive in our community with your inspiring, heart-warming and touching stories that happened to you or a member of your family.

We are looking for both stories and poems that tell a story and should be written in the first person. Did someone lend you a hand in a time of need? Was there a person who served as your mentor and inspiration that helped you or a loved one to succeed? We want you to share these stories with readers of the Sunday Dispatch.

Your stories of hope and inspiration will be accepted electronically by visiting the “Tell Us Your Story” page on Civitas Media’s website at civitasmedia.com/tellusyourstory or by email at tellusyourstory@civitasmedia.com. Include your full name and address with your submission, as well as a contact number and email address in case we need to contact you for more information.

Send us your stories or poems by Nov. 14 to be included in this year’s My Own Faith and Family Holiday Edition. For more information, call or email Content Manager Gary Brock at 937-556-5759 or gbrock@civitasmedia.com.
