Donna Archibald joined us at youth group last night to talk about a mission of her Sunday school class, Amazing Grace. Donna saw an article in the newspaper a few years ago written by a former incarcerated young woman. She wrote about the isolation and loneliness of being at the Madison Juvenile Correction Facility. Donna couldn't ignore this article and eventually brought it to the attention of her class. Since then they have provided hygiene products, DVDs, craft supplies and more to the girls in Madison.
Last night the youth made Christmas cards for these young women, which we hope will provide some Christmas cheer and love during this holiday season. An ongoing project will be collection of some basic craft supplies and hygiene items. You can bring these to me at church anytime. Thanks for your compassionate and caring hearts!
Crafts items
egg cartons
paper plates
oatmeal canisters
Hygiene items
hotel size shampoos and conditioners
bar soap
sanitary products
The Amazing Grace class read Same Kind of Different as Me, which sparked their desire to take action. I'm going to read this over my break. Feel free to join me!
