WCA Moms In Prayer Group is Serving S.O.U.L Food! (Serving Others Uniting Lives)

WCA's Moms in Prayer are so excited to join forces again with Hope for Opelousas (HFO) to host the 2nd annual Mother's Day Dinner & Devotion on May 4, 2014 at the HFO location on Madison Street. Our desire is to be living epistles to the mothers and grandmothers of the children tutored and mentored at HFO...a place where the foundational teaching is that "LOVE changes everything."  We want to share the love of Jesus by serving them a meal, providing daycare and activities for their children, and blessing them with devotional resources and Bibles.     

Our group of mothers is covering the cost of the catered meal, in addition to drinks, paper goods, and decorations.  Super One Foods has generously agreed to donate dessert.

However, we are reaching out to you, our WCA family, for additional needs and would so appreciate your prayerful consideration for donations or assistance in the following areas:

• Meal for the children in daycare (approximately 40) to include hot dogs, chips, cookies, and drinks.
• Cost of 35 Women's Devotionals and "The Story" Bible for each mother and grandmother
• High School volunteers to serve and assist the children in daycare
• Cost of craft activities to allow the children to create a gift for their mothers and grandmothers
• Donations for door prizes such as hair and nail salon, coffee shop gift cards, bath and body gift sets, etc.

If you would like to donate, please contact Brooke Lafleur at 337-278-0510 or blafleurot@yahoo.com. HFO can provide a Tax ID statement and number for tax purposes if necessary.

If your high school student would like to volunteer, please contact Mrs. Baker or Mrs. Rivers.
