We’ve had a busy summer - God has blessed us with so many generous donors for our thrift store that we’ve been able to have yard sales nearly every weekend! And we’ll continue to do so as long as we’re able. This weekend we’ll be at Rosemont Christian Church on Bainbridge Blvd. in South Norfolk, if the weather clears up. Every other weekend we’re across the street from our church (Geneva Park Baptist).  Here are a few pics of last weekend’s sale.

 

Join us this weekend - you never know what kind of treasures you may find!

22 Sep 2008 Flapjacks Galore!

We had a great time at the Applebee’s Flapjack Fundraiser this weekend!

The flapjacks were delicious and we had lots of customers to serve. Our volunteers washed dishes, served the food, and greeted folks as they arrived.

Victory Home netted over $700 and we’re looking forward to having more of these breakfasts.  I’ll be sure to post the details when we schedule them.

A friend of Victory Home received a large number of pears from a neighbor and decided to bless Victory Home by canning them and donating them to be sold in the thrift store.  Canned Pears, Pear Preserves, Amber Pear Preserves, and Pear Honey with Pineapple are all available now!
 

She also gave the extra pears to the Victory Home kitchen staff, so that the clients may enjoy this delicious fall bounty. Yum!
17 Sep 2008 Under His Wing

This little guy was signing his name on cards for our card ministry at church tonight. He’s a cute 6-year-old who loves to play and sing and run around with the other kids.

 

But his life is a little different than the other boys’ at church. 

“Billy” lives at Victory Home with his dad, who came into the program a few months ago. Billy’s dad has a big responsibility, trying to raise his child at the same time that he strives to change his life. It’s not easy, but his dad is determined and committed, and God is doling out lots of grace. Billy is a big part of our “family” now and he has adjusted wonderfully. He’s the first child Victory Home has ever had. 

Pray for Billy and his dad if you get a chance. And come see him Sunday - he’s singing (”in front of everyone!”). I love to see God’s grace in action!

 

How priceless is your unfailing love!
Both high and low among men
find refuge in the shadow of your wings.
~Psalm 36:7
