During the week of VBS we will once again be collecting monetary donations for Sis. Erin Davis who operates En Gedi House in Jamaica. A note from Erin with a brief summary of this ministry: En Gedi is a place of safety in Jamaica that takes in babies as needed until a safe long term placement can be found for them. In the past 7 years we have had 25 babies placed with us. They have stayed with us from 24 hours - 4 years. We also work with the local government agency to provide “support” bags as needed to provide families with a little extra help so they are able to keep their families together. We are so blessed and humbled by your prayers and support that keep our ministry going.
It's time to start planning for the next school year again! We are collecting school items to pack 95 backpacks for heart house to distribute in our community. Please use the signup genius OR amazon link below to donate items for this cause. The amazon link will give you an option to mail the items directly to me. The sign up genius allows you to get those items at any store of your choosing. You can always drop off any items at church in the vestibule by the main carport. Please note details on the sign up like colors, brands, amounts, and college vs wide ruled.
