christmas from the heart

I have said several times the past two weeks have been crazy busy, a bit exhausting, but joyfully so! 

You have shared generously, compassionately, and
with joyful purpose!...

in the words of a staff manager at one organization we served this week, "You have met unmet needs... this has been an incredible answer to prayer
." 
 
Together we have extended God's love to our community, sharing Christmas for what it truly is ... a gift of ourselves.
 

 May your Christmas be blessed with the joy that Christ has given us, that we shared together and extended to our community in His Precious Name...  

 "For to us a child is born,unto us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father,
Prince of Peace."
Isaiah 9:6

 

Together we served: 

SAFE HARBOR - CHESTER COUNTY WOMEN'S SERVICES - SALVATION ARMY COATESVILLE - BIRTHRIGHT - REST MINISTRIES - CHESTER COUNTY FOOD BANK - WEST CHESTER FOOD CUPBOARD - BRIDGE OF HOPE - GOOD WORKS - DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SHELTER - HOME OF THE SPARROW - YOUNG LIVES - YOUNG MOMS - SPANISH HEALTH MINISTRY - COUNTY CORRECTIONS GOSPEL MISSION - BRIDGE ACADEMY - THE PEACEMAKER CENTER - CAMP AT THE OLD MILL - CHESTER COUNTY YOUTH DETENTION CENTER

 

"Whatever you did for one of the least of these...you did for me". Matt 25:40
