Jesus needs our hands and feet to do his work until he returns. Many hands and many feet came together this year, on extremely short notice, to make our little Christmas miracle happen at the Fulton Street Church for the Mission Kids!
This loving group of individuals included the generous Christmas wish providers from the congregation of the Tallmadge Church of the Nazarene.who saw that each child from the Mission received the "special" gift they asked that Santa bring to them. Pastor Robert "Ho Ho Ho" Rassmussen did a fabulous job of being Santa this year! Susan Goss, longtime Church Board Secretary and dedicated Mission worker played the part of "Elf" at the party along with Wendee Rassmussen and Clara LewisSay Amen!
Once again the awesome employees (working and retired!) from Goodyear Tire & Rubber loved on the mission kids and were led by longtime Santa Jeff Carney and long time Mission Angel Debbie Biondi as they supplied cash that helped buy additional gifts & party food and Debbie loaned us Santa's suit. Say Amen!
Applause and praises for the generous and caring administrators and employees from Harbor Light Hospice for another year of heartfelt support for these children of God. Harbor Light Executive Director Amy Schwabe supplied the stocking stuffers, Leslie Painter and her fellow Harbor Light employees made cash donations and supplied much needed prayers! Harbor Light Volunteer Coordinator Emily Lengyel, Chaplain Beth Neirmann and Nurse Becky Downes played the part of "Elves" at the party by serving food, helping Santa distribute gifts and helping each child have a great time! Say Amen!
There is a danger in naming people who helped, as it is possible to overlook someone who deserves to be mentioned...if we did, THANK YOU for caring about these kids and please let us know who you are! Some folks are getting this email FYI, please spread the good word about what these people are doing, give them a "high five" and let others know what our needs are for the Mission.
Each one of you, in your own way, have made a positive difference in the lives of these children. And the good Lord knows, these kids need to have lots and lots of positives in their lives. Conditions in that neighborhood continue to deteriorate and these kids are truly "at risk" from so many different negatives. The need to continue supplying the kids with "positive" opportunities near their homes goes on all year...contact me if you would like to learn more.
