The purpose of the Children's Outreach Committee is to provide needy children in our community with clothing and personal items to give a positive self-image. We assist the children by providing:

• Personal care items in the Spring. These items are given to local organizations that assist with children and the local school district.
• Backpacks with school supplies and 1 new outfit for school before the new school year starts. This gives the children a positive self-image and does not single them out from the other children. We give these items out at a back-to-school pizza party.
• Clothing and a Christmas present at Christmas time. At Christmas time our church works along with the Bedford Ministerium to help many children in our area with Christmas presents, clothing, warm coats, and boots. Our church gives these items out at a Christmas Dinner provided by our church’s kitchen committee.

We invite these children to all activities at the church that pertain to children.

We have also expanded our ministry by providing eyeglasses to those children in need. We work along with a local optometrist in providing eyewear for those children who need them, but their families cannot financially provide them.

Everyone can be involved in this ministry by donating personal care items in the Spring, providing items before the start of School, and/or by assisting the team at Christmas time by taking a candle tag and providing a Christmas gift.

Donations are always welcome.
