Helping Children in the Ukraine
We are excited about giving to help orphans during this Christmas season. This year our focus will be on helping children in the Ukraine. We are partnering with Bibles for Russia leader, Jean McCrosky, She will be overseeing a team that will be ministering to these orphaned children. We are told that over 1700 children will be touched through this trip. Here is what we all can to do be a part of this:
We will be receiving small stuffed animals and a special coin offering at Grace House:
-The small stuffed animals can be brought the first two Sundays in December. Then we will have them vacuumed packed and shipped to the Ukraine. These stuffed animals need to be the small ones no more than 6 to 8 inches in size. Sandra Harper has checked in many of the stores in the area and says that the two Dollar Tree locations have them as well as Family Dollar. There will be a collection bin placed in the commons area at Grace House for you.
We will be receiving a COINS FOR CHILDREN offering the first 3 Sundays in December:
-A container will be placed in the altar area of our worship center and you can bring your coins and give them before, during, or after any of our services. Of course, paper money and checks will also be gladly received. Make them out to Grace House and we will make sure all of it makes it way to the Ukraine to help the children there.
Please feel free to share this with your family and friends and for those of you with children, please include them in the process and explain to them what we are doing. I believe this pleases Jesus, helps children, helps Bibles for Russia in their ministry, and involves us in missions and an important matter on God's heart -- children who have no parents.
This Sunday is the first Sunday in December so go ahead and prepare to participate. Thanks so much.
Merry Christmas to you all!
