Gifts For All God's Children
Newsletter February 2015  

Dear Friends,  

I thank God for the many opportunities that Gifts For All God's Children has been given to share the love of Christ with children!  Our Valentine Party was one of those opportunities and what a day it was!  Love abounded as the children and families shared food, games, crafts and fun and most importantly they heard how much Jesus loves them.

 

With Valentine's Day behind us we look forward to Easter in anticipation of the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.  It is our fervent desire that all the children would know who Jesus is and that they would experience His presence personally in their lives.  Won't you join us this Easter as GFAGC works toward our goal of Connecting Children to Christ throughout S. E. Michigan.  We will be making over 1000 Easter Baskets and organizing 5 Easter Fairs.  We use both as opportunities to tell children about Jesus Christ.  After all, we know that "faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ." (Romans 10:17)    

 

May God bless you this Easter season as you celebrate the resurrection of our Lord.

 

Patti Jacques

Executive Director
