COOKIES FOR INMATES

We believe Jesus's healing love and compassion knows no bounds - Which is why we are partnering with Kairos Prison Ministry to show the compassion of Jesus to local prison inmates who are often forgotten or disregarded by society.

One of the facets of this ministry is bringing in baked goods for the inmates to enjoy as an opportunity to share the gospel. The men and women often see it as the highlight of the weekend, receiving the baked goods as an act of God's love. Due to the size of the population in the local prison, our goal is to contribute 80 dozen cookies to ensure that all the prisoners, whether or not they engage with Kairos, get to enjoy a batch of homemade cookies.

If you are able to bake 5-10 dozen cookies (that fall within these guidelines from Kairos) to be collected on Sunday, November 1st, please sign up using the form below:

THE BIG DIAPER DRIVE

For many parents, running out of diapers also means no daycare and therefore NO WORK! You can keep babies healthier and relieve the burden for parents during October. It's that time of year again!Last year with your help we were able to collect 5,686 diapers for the Little Hands Virginia Big Diaper Drive! This year, we are hoping for 6,000 to help stock the shelves to make sure families in Virginia have the diapers they need.

You can donate diapers (open packs welcome!) or wipes to any of our drop off locations below or make a financial gift online at vakidsbelong.org/donate. You can also drop off your diaper donations at 2810: a community gathering place any time now through the end of the month.

One diaper is small. The impact is not.

Goodness of God

I love You Lord, oh Your mercy never fails me,
All my days I’ve been held in Your hands
From the moment that I wake up until I lay my head
I will sing of the goodness of God

All my life You have been faithful,
All my life You have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able,
I will sing of the goodness of God

I love Your voice, You have led me through the fire,
In darkest nights You are close like no other
I’ve known You as a father, I’ve known You as a friend
and I have lived in the goodness of God

All my life You have been faithful,
All my life You have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able,
I will sing of the goodness of God

Your goodness is running after, it’s running after me
Your goodness is running after, it’s running after me
With my life laid down,
I’m surrendered now,
I give You everything
Your goodness is running after, it’s running after me

All my life You have been faithful,
All my life You have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able,
I will sing of the goodness of God

Worthy of It All

You are worthy of it all, You are worthy of it all
For from You are all things, and to You are all things
You deserve the glory (repeat)
