Merry Christmas!

Greetings from Step Up of Alamance!

As the Christmas season draws near, there’s much going on with our 3 families.

One family has found a new client, who is providing income for the family. We’re praying for one more client to be found to restore the family to the level of income it had before losing two previous clients.

We are still looking for a full-time work situation with another family, as she is working part-time, and very hard hours at that. This has been very tough on her, with young kids.

All three families will go to St. Mark’s Church on Saturday to be presented with food and presents for Christmas. This wonderful opportunity was made available by the Dimes Ministry from with St. Mark’s. What a blessing!

Finally, Jarm Turner, the Student Ministries Pastor at St. Mark’s gave the sermon this weekend. He highlighted the poor and the Church’s responsibility in loving, caring, and ministering to the impoverished. Jesus, Himself, was impoverished. Jarm presented real-life examples of local organizations addressing the needs of the poor, and Step Up was included! We were subsequently handed a significant check by someone in attendance at the service. Yea, God!

Merry Christmas to all, and have a healthy and safe New Year. Until then!
