  • Ministry of the Month - Redeeming Life Ministries

    Redeeming Life Outreach Ministries RLOM - Women who come to RLOM need so much as they face their crisis pregnancy and prepare for independent living. Each resident finds a secure home, personalized help, and true hope for the future as they prepare for the birth of their baby. With rising costs for food, utilities, and programming, ministry costs more now than ever in our twelve-year history. Will you help today? Your generous gift supports moms and babies! You can make the difference for women who need help. Your support funds everything from housing to help with employment and education, transportation to training. A gift of $50 funds a monthly bus pass for a resident. $75 pays for two weeks of newborn diapers. $250 provides nutritious food for a week in our maternity home. $1000 helps fund the personalized programming each woman participates in to gain skills and knowledge for full and independent living.

  • Baker's Blessings on the Road

    Baker's Blessings will be taking a break for the month of August. Look for a new sign-up sheet for the month of September.

  • Sherwood Elementary Supply Drive

    Our school supply drive was a huge success!  We had 14 backpacks filled with items for each grade level and gender K-6th. There were also 23 teacher wish lists completed. Wow!  As requested, next year we will increase the number of backpacks to fill as our first service members snagged all the backpack lists before second service even had a chance. I want to send out a special THANK YOU to Joline Irvine and Jackson Sifflemire for helping sort and back the backpacks and teacher wish list items. Items will be dropped off at Sherwood the first week of August to coincide with the teach back to school breakfast.

As always thank you for continuing to keep Providence Connects on your hearts.
