Bringing Dignity to Montgomery Families in Need


Ministry Centers First Annual Toy Sale
Saturday, December 12, 2009
We are embarking on a new endeavor at the Ministry Centers. Our first annual Toy Sale is scheduled for Saturday, December 12th. A minimal fee will be charged so that parents from our centers will have the dignity of buying their kids Christmas gifts. The prices will range from 10 cents to 5 dollars for the bigger items.

We need YOUR HELP in providing NEW and USED toys IN VERY GOOD CONDITION for ages infant to 16 years. ALL MONIES RECEIVED FROM THE TOY SALE WILL GO BACK INTO THE MINISTRY CENTERS’ BENEVOLENCE FUNDS FOR FOOD AND EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE given to families served.

WAYS YOU CAN HELP AT THE TOY SALE!

1. Monetary donations will be accepted, as well as gifts. Make checks payable to MBA Church and Community Ministries, Inc./ Toy Sale/20 Interstate Park Drive, Montgomery, AL 36109.

2. We will need volunteers the day before the sale to help sort and organize toys.

3. Volunteers will be needed on Saturday to assist our guests as they shop.

4. Baked goods will be served at the sale for parents who come and shop. Homemade goods would be greatly appreciated.

5. We need Christmas wrappers. If you are good at wrapping gifts, come and bring some Christmas wrap, bows and tape and wrap presents for parents.

6. Come and be a "pray-er" or a "share-er" with the parents.

Ten Ways You Can Serve Greater Montgomery

1. Connect with one of the 6 Cooperative Ministries listed on this blog.

2. Do a neighborhood survey and find out what your community wants and needs.

3. Tithe 1/10 of your garden and give to a family in need.

4. Read to a child at one of the public schools in your area. The administration would love to have you serve.

5. Start an Fellowship of Christian Athletes club at a local jr high or high school.

6. Take gift bags to new neighbors around your home or church with information about the church/community.

7. Adopt a school and be a prayer partner with them.

8. Call Alabama Post/Pre Adoption Connections(APAC-334-409-9477) in Montgomery and find out how you can support adoptive families.

9. Offer to host an ESL or Conversational English class in your church. Someone can come and train your church to teach ESL too.

10. Gather in good condition clothing and take to the centers. Ask Forest Park about their "Good Samaritan Clothing Ministry".
