A Powerful Reminder of our God

 A Quick Re-cap of Celebrate Life Sunday:

Approximately 100 people came out on the snowy-blowy morning of January 5th to participate in Celebrate Life Sunday.  One highlight of our time together was the hearty breakfast - it is good to come together to break bread, or much muffins, or enjoy fruit, sip coffee....you get the idea!

Another highlight was connecting the dots of Life Centers' eternal impact Life.  Patti Fraley, who serves faithfully at the East Pregnancy Center in Indy, worked graciously behind the scenes for weeks leading up to this morning to connect Christ Community with Life Centers' women: 

From Caitlin, the young mom who turned to Life Centers for support during her first pregnancy.  She not only found practical help, but spiritual healing in a newfound relationship with Christ, and then discipleship and true life change at Heart Change, and for whom Children's Ministry (you!) had the privilege of collecting over $400 as she and her husband (and young son) prepare for baby #2 - this time as a healthy, happy Christian family experiencing financial need;
 
to Ashley, the young woman whose life was changed when she turned to Life Centers for help after college, following a series of choices that left her needing answers.  In so doing, she found the true Answer -  coming to understand through LC's Bible study how to have a personal relationship with Christ - and now lives to tell about it (literally - all the time, as a profession!);

to Dawn, the director at East Pregnancy Center whose own life journey's missteps have fueled her passion for Christ and for life - that of unborn babies and eternal life for in-need moms and dads.

This is what we helped to support!  Giving money, creating onesies and cards/letters is a wonderful thing that will bless many.  But what we received in return was profound:  The powerful reminder that our God pursues.  He rescues.  He forgives.  He restores.  He reigns!
