On Sunday: Change for Children Offering

On Sunday, Dec 15 Derry receives the quarterly Change for Children offering that benefits the Alliance for Children Everywhere. Since this is the season to celebrate our Savior’s birth, this offering will focus on their support for babies.

Since 2001, the House of Moses has rescued over 700 orphaned or abandoned babies. Surrounded by tall pines and jacaranda trees, it is a crisis nursery for children up to age two. Babies have a warm bed, nourishing milk, and soft clothing. The trained caregivers provide them with consistency, safety, and loving attention. Weather permitting, babies crawl and toddle through the soft grass in the yard beside a mural of the Peaceable Kingdom.  

Bring your change in a zip-closed bag, placing it in one of the designated baskets. Be sure the bag contains coins only: no extraneous items like paper clips, tokens, pins, batteries. Bag foreign coins separately. Thanks for your generosity and support.
