Coming up to Christmas at the Drop In

Saturday 19th November 2011 3:00 PM

Today we gave out 115 parcels, 5 of these were to new clients. We had 43 volunteers.

After the joy of receiving an award it's back to the real joy of the Drop In - helping others. Thank you to all those who sent emails congratulating the Drop In and it's volunteers - I have printed them all off and they have been available for all the volunteers to read your messages.

We are having a Christmas Party for all volunteers and donors on Friday 9th December at 7.00pm at Ebenezer. It will be a bring and share supper, all beverages must be non alcoholic.Come and join us and get to meet each other in a relaxed venue instead of the hustle and bustle we usually meet in.

If you want to give Christmas toys for the Salvation Army, they need NEW toys which are unwrapped and they need them in by 12th December as they will be giving them out on the 13th.

We had a very touching moment this week when an elderly lady came to the side door on Thursday and gave us an envelope with a donation for the Drop In. When asked if we could have her name and address so that our treasurer could send a thank you letter she said 'Oh no dear, I want to give it like the celebrities do .... anonymously' .... when we looked at the envelope on it was written 'winter fuel payment'. She is definitely our celebrity of the week!!!

On the 5th November I wrote about a young lady who had been made homeless and she and her husband were sleeping in the car ... the news today is that they now have been re-homed and as you can imaging she looked so different today when she came in, colour in her cheeks and a smile. Praise God for answered prayer.

Thank you so much for making this a project where we can see God at work through His people.
