St. John Christian Service Thanks You
My name is Sharon and I volunteer for St. John Christian Service. I have been working with this very rewarding ministry for about 10 years now. I want to share an experience I had this year with all of you.
When the website was being developed and e-mail accounts were being set up, Christian Service was approached about getting a presence on the website. At the time, I didn’t understand the potential benefit to our ministry and to the people we serve. I questioned the necessity of it, but now I’m so glad that we have it available to us. This technology recently helped St. John Christian Service and Outreach East make a big difference in a local family’s life.
On the Thursday before Christmas, Robin, the Parish Secretary routinely checked the church e-mail. There among the many “junk” e-mails, was a request from a young mother. Could someone please help keep her family from being evicted on Christmas Eve? “We hit a rough patch…we are truly in need of some type of miracle. We are not asking for anything for our 5 kids for Christmas, just to be able to keep a roof over their heads.” She went on to explain that her fiancé had been working full time, but his hours had been cut back. She, herself, had just started a full time job, but wouldn’t be getting a pay check for two weeks. Through no fault of their own, they were in a desperate situation.
Thanks to all of you, we were able to keep this family in their home, with food on the table and gifts for their 5 children. I feel so grateful that we were able do this. They were not on the Christmas Giving Tree, but we were still able to help them.
May God bless you all.
Sharon
