Redeeming Life Maternity Home - Baby Bottle Campaign
Your Change can Change Lives for Eternity
We're currently participating in the Baby Bottle campaign to raise money for our ministry partner, Redeeming Life Maternity Home. Grab a baby bottle, take it home, to your office, or leave it in your car, then use the next few weeks to fill it with all the loose change you have - you can even drop in some bills or a check!
Bottles are due back on or before Father's Day
!
Redeeming Life Maternity Home is a Recognized Service Organization (RSO) with the LCMS located in Sanford, Florida, is one of only a handful of maternity homes in the nation. Their mission is to preserve life as they serve single, pregnant, and post-partum women who lack the support of a loving, caring, Christ-centered home and family. By partnering with Redeeming Life through the Baby Bottle Campaign, you give hope to these women in a tangible way and make it possible for them to hear about and experience the love of God that is ours in Christ Jesus. The goal is to inspire our residents to love and care for their children as God loves and cares for them. For More Information: 407-790-9745 |
