New Website, New Brochure for 2009
|
Since The
Christmas Village first became a vision in 2004, our website has mostly
been informational about the ministry and events. Our goal for 2009 was to
have a new mission statement, a new brochure and a new website that was
geared more toward the women we are called to serve.
mission statement: Transforming
lives ... two hearts at a time.
The new brochure
has been printed. The first mailing will go out in the next few weeks. Metro
Christian Living magazine will also be delivering them to offices in the
Metro area.
Please visit our new
and improved website www.TheChristmasVillage.org.

 Red Envelope Day is an event on
Tuesday, March 31 where everyone who opposes abortion is being asked to
send a Red envelope addressed to:
President Barack Obama
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW
Washington , D.C.
20500
On the back you should write:
"This envelope represents one child who died because of an abortion.
It is empty because the life that was taken is now unable to be a part of
our world."
An empty red envelope will send
a message to President Barack Obama that there is moral outrage in this
country over this issue The Freedom of Choice Act, which will essentially
“undo” every law currently in place to limit abortion in the U.S. (i.e.,
parental consent laws, parental notification, waiting periods, prohibition
of transporting a minor girl across state lines to obtain an abortion, etc).
Please join with us in supporting this event.
