Sojourners, please consider carving out a few hours on the calendar next Tuesday for this opportunity to share the love and message of Jesus Christ to children less fortunate.

Ricardo Vega of New Life Ministries needs our help in making this event a success.

Volunteers are needed at different times:

4:30pm to ride on the school bus from New Life Outreach church to housing projects to pickup children for a tour of Botanical Gardens Christmas lights.

6pm at New Life to assist with serving food, setting up the church with gifts, etc. When the children return you will be needed in sharing the love of Jesus to the children through gift giving, singing, and just hanging out.

Please reply who can come and at what times so that I can let Ricardo know. If you do come please be sure to bring some sort of GIFT.
