« Christmas gifts for 71 children »

Saturday we will serve the women and children of Prototypes women's center in Oxnard. It will be an exciting and meaningful time for all of us.

We will enjoy decorating the home for Christmas, doing yard work and cleaning while some of our ladies do crafts with the women of Prototypes.

We will then enjoy eating barbeque with the women, children and staff of the center. We will present Christmas gift cards to the 15 staff, 14 women and 1 man.

A small gift bag will be given to the 32 women of the center. All of this will take place on Saturday.

But there is one thing more that we want to do. We would like to provide a Christmas gift to each one of the 71 children whose moms are residents of the center. There are 32 mothers and 71 children who are residents at Prototypes.

Here is the plan.

This Sunday we will have 71 cards with the name of a child, their age and sex. We will then ask you to take a card and get a gift for your child. We will bring those gifts to church on Sunday, December 18th and take them to the children to have for Christmas. So, come prepared Sunday to take a card, purchase and gift-wrap your present for a child. We will give an approximate amount for each gift on Sunday. Are you in? Yes! Let's do it!

God bless you dear ones!

In his grip of grace,

Rex
