Shop with a Hero This Saturday
November 28th, 2007 Posted in Missional, Community, Church at the GroveOne of the desires we have at CATGrove is to BE IN the community and share the love of Jesus in a practical way.
I am so excited about this Saturday and our community ministry called “Shop With A Hero”. We will have approximately 40 children partnered with an officer or personal in uniform. They will be given a one hundred dollar gift card and sent into Wal-Mart to shop for themselves and their family.
We accomplish three major things in this community effort:
- We create a positive experience for a child and a person of authority where otherwise their encounters with people in uniform is quite different and difficult.
- We give them a meaningful Christmas experience for this holiday season with gift-buying and giving.
- We simply share the love of Jesus in a practical way with the children, the parents, and many officers we might not otherwise have contact with.
If you are a CATGrover, come out to the Loganville Wal-Mart and help us love on some incredible people in our community!
