Our women's ministry team is bursting at the seams about a recent launch just in time for the holidays! The Angel TEam has just put into motion "The Shine Campaign". Most simply put, The Shine Campaign is this. . .an opportunity to SHINE YOUR LIGHT into a world that needs hope and love. We have chosen to mass produce what we're dubbing, "Bags of Hope", to be distrubuted throughout local communities and also nationally.
Already, just in the past month, we have heard stories of Angel TEam Bags of Hope being filled and given to an after-school program helping disadvantaged youth, a young woman who is homebound, teenage sisters whose father recently passed away, a man with cancer, and the list goes on. These bags are not only for those in need, but can also be filled and given to a person as a thank you or just to say, "I love you".
Here is a thank you note from a young girl who recently received a Bag of Hope:
"Thank you for surprising me with the gift bag on my porch. I love pajamas and wear them all the time. I use the hair clips everyday. My hair is growing back after surgery and I'm glad to be able to use them again. I'm saving the gift cards for now until i see something my family needs. We have family game night and enjoyed playing the game you got us. Thank You very much for thinking of me and making me feel special! I greatly appreciate it!"
Soooo...get your thinking cap on and decide who needs a little spark of hope this holiday season.
SHINE BRIGHT!
