The Children’s Ministry is looking for volunteers to help out with the Easter Egg Hunt on March 15^th, and the Charis House (which is the women’s/children division of the FW Rescue Mission) supply drive on March 16^th. We will be having a short planning meeting on Monday night Feb. 25^th at 6:30pm in classrooms 1 & 2. Please consider helping out with these two events, since they are a great outreach opportunity.

The Children’s Ministry of Aboite will be sponsoring a supply and clothing drive for Charis House.

Charis House is the women and children division of the Fort Wayne Rescue Mission. Not only do they supply material for these families, they also minister to them and help them get back on the right track.

I have also included a list of items below which they are always in need of. Please feel free to donate gently used women and children clothing and shoes.
