Clovis Hills serves on mission through various Christmas projects. I've written about the Juvenile Hall Christmas party already so wanted to also tell about some of the other Christmas missions. I'm pretty new at this "blogging" stuff...so bear with me! Anyway, enjoy the update!
Operation Christmas Child - 175 boxes donated in October! Then for the first time folks from Clovis Hills went to the LA area and spent a Saturday sorting boxes at the west cost distribution center! This project was completely run by a small group.
Refugee Home Visits - 10 youth and adults went to visit a family of 12. They learned a lot about the Hmong culture and had some way cool rice according to Greg Goodwin! This is an incredible opportunity to create relational bridges for the future.
Maroa Home - A Clovis Hills small group has adopted this as their Christmas mission! They give each man a shoe box filled with toiletries, socks and goodies - 34 in all. Then each of the men that get to go home for the Christmas receive a gift for their family members…all purchased and wrapped by Clovis Hills folks.
Angel Tree - 200 angles were chosen to receive gifts! These were delivered by the team of volunteers on Saturday, December 16th. Along with the gifts each family received an invitation to Clovis Hills outreach services and Christmas Eve services.
Fresno Rescue Mission - Christmas party will be happening this Thursday, December 21st and lots of goodies and gifts for the families who are spending Christmas at the missions' Family Shelter. If you would like to participate then email michelle@pellerin.com soon!
Okay, this has probably been a long post...but lots going on! I am very excited to see what God's doing in the life of our folks and what he has done - not to mention how he will continue to use those willing to step outside their comfort zone!
