Christmas party at the Community Care Home

       

My Grandson Miles reads the Christmas
story from the Bible to the group

Today was the Big Christmas party for the good folks at the
Community Care home.  I assure you all, a grand time was
had by all!!!!

Gift Bags for all, cupcakes, chips, party favors for every one, drinks, candy and singing Christmas carols.

The highlight was when my 5 year old grandson, Lee, stood and recited John 3:16.  Then my 8 year old grandson, Miles, stood and read the Christmas story from his Bible to the group.

God blessed us today. Merry Christmas everyone.







Christmas Party

As we were cleaning and beginning to leave the party, I overheard the staff

talking about what they could do for supper for them tonight. They decided

to throw a pizza party from Little Caesars Pizza  across the street. So Jason

 

and I asked if we could pay for supper as well.  So, on the way home,

 we stopped by the pizza joint and ordered pizza and chicken wings for the gang.

 

Today was a wonderful day for sure!!!

The Christmas party for the Community Care home will be this Saturday at 2:00pm I will be sure post photos and a story Saturday night.
Please remember this ministry in your prayers this week.

God, Please RESTORE the HOPE.

This week in the assisted living home in Sumter

This week my wife Susan, and her friend Gloria were visiting the assisted living homes here in Sumter. This is something they do every week. Susan was a bit sad because a lot of these SR. citizens who live in the home will not even get one visit over Christmas..No one. So Susan and Gloria with gift bags in hand set out to bring about as much Christmas Joy as they could this week. Thank you God for allowing them to do this.
I am telling you guys this story because I would LOVE to start a movement across the state!!
Here is my idea:  What if everyone started a tradition in their family over the Christmas holiday? Just take the family and go to an assisted living home and ask the staff if you could visit with someone who would be alone on Christmas, and just pay them a visit!!! Just spread some Christmas love!!!

Just Think about it.....  God please RESTORE the HOPE.

Its so cold in my house today.....

it is cold no more

Today, December 18th my phone rang and the voice on the other end of the line began to explain just how cold it has been in her home this week...

Do you guys remember the lady that was a stroke victim in the summer that was in need of some air conditioned relief???

This was that lady...She had four younger kids with  her in the home. She had a stroke and was confined to a bed and lost her job because of the stroke. She is needing all of the help she could find. We are correcting her heat problem for her. God has blessed us to be able to help her and that we will do in the name of Jesus. But...consider this......How many people our there this Christmas just want to be warm?? or just need a meal??

God please bless those in our community that need. Bring some hope to them. RESTORE THE HOPE. In the name of Jesus.

Mission CHRISTmas card begins in the midlands of SC

This year we believe God has directed this ministry to assist some families, a local community care home, and a local mission home for this Christmas season.

We are planning a large Christmas party complete with "bags of blessings' for our friends in the community care home.
 
We are also planning on providing Walmart Gift cards for families and our friends in the mission home downtown. So far 15 gift cards have been given to several families to assist them with Christmas.


It seems that this time of year is the most difficult for a lot of people
and all kinds of emotions rise up. It is our strongest desire
that our contact with people this Christmas  will in some way ease
the trouble and emotions in their lives. We want to bring the peace and blessed assurance in the love of Jesus into the lives of all that we meet.

Why are you cast down, O my inner self? And why should you moan over me and be disquieted within me? Hope in God and wait expectantly for Him, for I shall yet praise Him, Who is the help of my [sad] countenance, and my God. Psalm 43: 5

Post Thanksgiving Update

Over the Thanksgiving holidays, God has blessed this ministry to be able to provide Thanksgiving feast for at least..87 people here in Sumter and to give away about 55 winter coats and gloves and winter hats. Now we are in the upswing for the Christmas Season.  Thank you Lord for allowing us to do this work here in Sumter.

We want to be sure to remind you guys, That it is not so much about the "Things" ...it is about getting involved in these folks lives and to show an example of Gods love in their lives. It seems that when we are able to visit those folks who are in need,  God allowed us to restore hope and a smile. It truly is about the restoration of HOPE.

We want to thank all of our supporters for your kind assistance. We pray Gods blessings over your homes and families.
