Teddy Bear Drive

 Our Local Tithe for December will be to the child care agency, one that works with children in crisis; children that find themselves in abusive environments.  We have found that the most effective way of reaching a child in crisis is to put something in their arms they can embrace.  As they embrace the Teddy Bear they feel your love and begin to calm down so child care agency can begin their work.  Believe it or not during the Holiday Season domestic violence and physical abuse of children rises dramatically; as a result child care agencies, a city child support agency, runs critically low on their supply of the love a Teddy Bear can provide.  Reach out in Love and touch someone’s heart by bringing a stuffed animal to church.

Yes, during Holiday Season Unity Spiritual Life Center collects Teddy Bears for underprivileged children and children in need of some extra love.    During the weeks of our Teddy Bear Drive the teddy bears (and other stuffed toys) remain in our sanctuary where you are encouraged to hold and fill them with the love of your heart.  Just before Christmas we take the Teddy Bears to the child care agency who distributes them directly to children.  Please reach out in love and touch the heart of a child in crisis by bringing a Teddy Bear to church.
