We will be starting a "Sharing Table" and "Resource Table" at our next meeting. If you are able to assist with these initatives in any way please let one of the leaders know! We need your help and support to make this a success!!
THE SHARING TABLE
This will consist of items that you may no longer require and wish to bless other moms with. Some items could include: coupons, diapers or toys that your child has outgrown, lotions, household items, decorative items, etc. Please ensure all items you donate are in good condition.
THE RESOURCE TABLE
This will consist of CDs, books, and DVDs. We presently have all of the Hearts at Home conference CDs from March 2007 - which we recommend that you take advantage of (invaluable information). We have also recently received a donation from John Furth (Kelly's husband) of Kelly's collection of Joyce Meyer CDs. We also plan to add parenting reference books and study guides. If you have any items to donate please let Joy Myong know.

DONATIONS FOR LOCAL PREGNANCY CENTERS
Aurora Pregnancy Information Center accepting the donations from M.O.M.S. (in picture above) www.rupregnant.com
Dear Ladies of Calvary,
I want to express my gratitude and appreciation on behalf of the many young women we serve at the Pregnancy Resource Center in Bolingbrook. The Christmas Boxes you filled and decorated with such loving care went a long way to bless our clients.
We never enjoy having to tell a client that we do not have what she needs. They do all that's necessary to earn their. "Mommy Dollars" for a little "shopping spree." I always feel so badly if we're "out of stock."
Your gifts made a huge difference--at a most important time of year--when we are celebrating the One whose precious name we are serving in!
Thank you for your wonderful contribution--and God bless you as you have blessed!
Sincerely,
Marilynn Cutrano
Marilynn Cutrano, Managing Director Living Alternatives Pregnancy Resource Center 630 739 6684 www.hopeforafuture.com (Clients: www.uhohpregnant.com)
"Children are a gift from God....." Psalm 127:3
WHAT A BLESSING IT WAS to share God's love with the pregnancy centers in Aurora and Bolingbrook. Our moms gave beyond our expectation and we had 26 boxes for each center along with gift cards and packages of diapers. The handwritten note above was received from the Aurora PIC and an email from Bolingbrook PSC. Both centers where so grateful for the donations -- please remember them in your prayers.
The following photos below will show the enjoyment we all received from participating in this outreach ....
