JAMAICA SDA CHURCH ADVENTIST YOUTH SOCIETY:

 

COAT DRIVE!!!

WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!

The  AYS society of the Jamaica church is encouraging you all to join us in this heart venture. We intend to let the community, especially the children at the women's shelter on the Corner of 89th Avenue, know that Jesus is alive and well and he loves them.

Church we are Jesus' hands and His feet and this year we will be his loving arm, bring warmth to His children through our Coat Drive.  Would you please join us and make a child happy this thanksgiving. Let's each share Jesus’s warmth in the form of a coat. 

The children at the shelter are in the following categories and need a new jacket/coat/snowsuit.  As we receive the coats, the list will be updated.  Coats can be turned in as early as TODAY and will be distributed on the 16th and on the 24th of November. We know we will accomplish our goal of 140 jackets so we give God all the praise in advance.  God be praised!
