Shining Christ's love this Christmas
Hello Sisters,
‘Tis the season for shining Christ’s love by serving!
Matthew 5:16 says “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
What a wonderful way we can SHOW God’s love and hope to those who do not yet know Him!
Here are some ways you can serve those in our communities with friends and/or your small group
Christmas opportunities
1.Every Walmart has their Project Angel Christmas tree at every store entrance. Project Angel Tree provides toys and necessities to children of incarcerated parents. Instructions are on the child’s ‘ornament.’
2.The Salvation Army of Southeast Michigan has several upcoming opportunities:
Bell Ringers Needed:
This year we will be out in full force, ringing to help our neighbors stay in their homes for Christmas and beyond. We need bell ringers to help us fight pandemic poverty so that families in need can find a way through this difficult season. Together we will raise money, have fun, share our experiences, and make a lasting difference in the community.
