Birthday Party Orphanage Outreach

Birthday Party Orphanage Outreach

Sunday, July 19th at 1:30pm
Berlyz is turning 17 and Destiny is turning 15 this month. Our outreach ministry team focuses on being the hands and feet of Jesus within our local community. For the past eight months, this team has been providing monthly birthday parties for the children at the children's home. Each month a volunteer sends an email with the details and items needed for the birthday party. We provide cake, drinks, paper products, birthday gifts for the children, and gift bags for the other children attending the party. If you would like to donate items for the party, please place them in the "Mothering Ministry" basket by the church office prior to the day of the party. God has been so good to bless this ministry in providing dedicated volunteers, gifts and cakes each month and we ask that you pray for His continued blessings and guidance for this ministry. These birthday parties have been a blessing to these children as well as the volunteers. Most of us take for granted that we'll have cake and gifts on our birthday, and without this ministry, many of the children would not. They are very humble and grateful to us and this is a great opportunity to show God's love.

Here are a few suggestions: Berlyz said she loves to shop at Rue 21. She also likes Foot Locker. She loves horses. She also expressed that she would love to have a Play Station 2. I think those are pretty expensive, but if anyone has an old one that their kids don’t play anymore, then just let me know.
Destiny likes to shop at Aeropostale. She also likes Finish Line. Wal-Mart gift cards are always appreciated. Their house mom said they both need new tennis shoes. Of course they would love anything that any teenage girl likes…lip glosses, finger nail polishes, any girly stuff!!! I think all of the girls like Claire’s. Please don’t feel like you have to buy them something. Prayer is the best gift that anyone could give!!! If you would like to attend the party, then you are more than welcome. They love it!

If you would rather make a donation, then you can send a check to: “Love the Little Ones’ 48 Manor Avenue SW Concord, NC 28025. For more information regarding this ministry, contact Missy Strayer at elizabeth.strayer@sprint.com
