To say we are excited to announce our next outreach focus would be an understatement.
We contacted St. Mary's Community Outreach Center in Wayne, Mi and have the amazing opportunity to be a part of something they do each year. Check this out:
In August, St. Mary's hosts a
Back To School Fair. The purpose for this fair is to help children in need get ready for school. They provide each pre-registered child the following: hair cut, dental exam, school physical, and a backpack loaded with school supplies. Everything a child needs to be ready to go back to school.
Is that stinkin' cool or what? Several churches from the surrounding communities come together to make this happen. After connecting to the people leading this outreach at St. Mary's it was clear that this was a focus where CG girls could show God's love for these kids in a very practical way. To show God's love outside the church walls.
Girls...check this out...On July 16th, when we gather together to celebrate God at our next CG gathering we will be collecting the following:
- Backpack (for preschool - 6th grade) filled with:
- 12pk pencils, notebook, colored pencils, 24pk crayons, glue sticks and a ruler!
Our hope is to supply enough backpacks for every child who comes to the back to school fair in August. This is the time to get your women's ministry, work peeps, small groups, youth groups, children's ministry, card clubs, (you know...the people you do life with) involved with this very special project.
We can't wait to see what God does through this very special outreach.
Amazing things happen when we trust God like crazy...will you join us?
We love you girls!
