Renewal in the New Year...Volunteer Style

It's that time of year again!

Each January, we are asking all our volunteers to re-submit paperwork to volunteer in the coming year. This includes all the forms in our Volunteer Application packet.

Having updated information is critical for us to maintain accurate volunteer records and safeguard the integrity of our volunteer program. Many of you have graciously been volunteering, but perhaps we don't have full contact information for you or an emergency contact. Many of you have been informally volunteering, and we may not have run background checks. In addition, the new Information Form lets us know whether you have taken Protecting God's Children, which is an important training that we encourage all our volunteers to attend.  Please help us to update our records so we can provide the best program possible for our residents and provide a rewarding experience for you while you take part in our ministry. 

All forms can be found on the Volunteer Application Tab in electronic or print format. If you need us to send you a new packet, please email us.

Thank you again for all you do. We look forward to an active and fulfilling 2015!

Blessings in Christ,
Rakhi

Hello 2015!

And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying,‘See, the home of God is among mortals. He will dwell with them; they will be his peoples, and God himself will be with them; he will wipe every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; mourning and crying and pain will be no more, for the first things have passed away.’

And the one who was seated on the throne said, ‘See, I am making all things new.’ 

Revelation 21:2-5

Happy New Year from Mary's Mantle! 

We wish you a year filled with every blessing from above. May this year hold more joy than sorrow, more laughter than tears, and a firm hope in the promises of Christ. Thank you for helping make all things new again for the women God sends into our care. In His name, we continue to wipe the tears from their eyes, heal the hurt of their hearts, help them to bring new life into the world. As we persevere in our work, we are so glad to have you with us. Look for an update on how to continue serving as a volunteer at Mary's Mantle for 2015 in the coming week.

In the meantime, I will close with the blessing the Lord gave to Moses:

The LORD bless you and keep you!

The LORD let his face shine upon

you, and be gracious to you!

The LORD look upon you kindly and

give you peace!

Blessings in Christ,

Rakhi
