I wanted to share with you, a new ministry at St. George. If you are interested in helping or would like more information, please contact Marie Bateh at (205) 533-5167.
The Birthday Closet
Can you imagine your child not having a present to open on his/her birthday?
It's a really terrible thought. So, in response to a need, we have opened a Birthday Closet at St. George for the homeless children at Pathways.
Our hope is to inspire our children to give a gift or two from their birthday stash (or after Christmas) to the Birthday Closet so that a child who would otherwise have nothing, have something. As our closet fills we hope to touch even more children around the touched life of a child, and it truly impacts anyone when a stranger gives in love. So both parties are blessed!
Please talk to your children about this ministry and encourage them to touch others in a Christ-like manner. If you would like more information or would like to volunteer your time to this ministry, please contact Marie Bateh at 533-5167.
Please mark all donations "Birthday Closet" and place them in the church rectory.
Thank you!
