Thank you to those of you that donated items for the special Mother's Day gift bags! A lot of the dancers are single mothers- so this will be a great opportunity to open the doors! We had a great time of preparation- we made hand written notes and included our contact info- and now we'll pray for future follow-up. Our prayer is that this intial contact will just be the beginning of new friendships and relationships with these precious women!
We spent time praying and reading John 4. If you've not read it lately- it will help you understand what and why we're going into the strip club.
What's inside the bag? Candle (made by Ginger), tickets to the children's discovery museum, box filled with chocolate hugs and kisses, gum, candy, Biaggi's free appetizer and free drink coupons, toothpaste, lotion, and our hand written note. Most importantly, the love and prayers that went into each and every bag.
This is an awesome outreach Nicki! I am the President of our Church Council and I will approach the congregation to see if they want to get involved, that is if you don't mind a few Lutherans helping out!
