Diapers Needed

for Graceworks 

 

 

 

One of the most important things for a parent is being able to provide for our children. GraceWorks of Franklin has informed us of a "crying" need for diapers.  In honor of Mother's Day, we would like to help by supplying diapers to GraceWorks for mothers who so desperately need them. We ask everyone to bring a pack of diapers to church on the coming Sundays leading up to Mother's Day, May 12.  Wanda Witherspoon will be collecting and delivering the diapers.  If you would like, you can also attach a note of encouragement for a new mom.

 

 

"Permit the children to come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these." Luke 18:16

 

 

 

 

   

 

 

Congratulations
