What to Bring: just bring yourself
Details: This is a serving opportunity to help economically-challenged families.
If a woman is at least seven months pregnant or has a child under one year of age, she can bring her whole family to Breakfast with Baby.
After a hot breakfast, the older children go to a class where they sing, do a craft and hear a Bible story. The toddlers meet in the playroom, while the men gather in another area for an informal Bible discussion group.
The moms and toddlers then have a time of encouragement from the Bible followed by shopping. In a temporary store-type area, they can select gently-used baby clothing, toys, books, strollers (or other large items as available). All items are FREE! They then receive a package of diapers for each eligible child.
Note: This serving opportunity may involve grunt work (cleaning up tables, storing chairs, garbage, etc.)
Bilingual capability would be beneficial (especially Spanish speakers).
Remember the families that show up are oftentimes un-churched, so although you can share your faith, or offer to pray, they may or may not be receptive.
