2011 Christmas Toy Giveaway

Thanks to many friends who bought tons of brand new toys and gifts for the children and grandchildren of the men enrolled in the Mission’s residential New Life Program (and for the kids of our former After School Club families, too), lots of kids had happy surprises on Christmas morning!  In all, 960 toys were lovingly selected and wrapped for 196 children!  That means that each child received 1 larger main gift and about 4 smaller stocking stuffers.  Thanks, those of you made this possible by donating toys or volunteering with the giveaway!

Jesus Never Fails

Our lighted “Jesus Never Fails” sign was pretty burned out, so we turned it off a couple of months ago.  On Tuesday, November 9th, our old lighted sign was re-bulbed and we were able to turn it back on.  So now every evening, if you happen to be walking down Chelten Ave. just east of Germantown Ave., somewhere above the golden arches and the T-Mobile sign, you should see a shining message of hope…Jesus Never Fails.
