The Buds continue to be busy focusing their efforts on proclaiming God's Truth, committing themselves especially this month to our Respect Life Campaign. We received word that our Buds collected well over $200 during the Pennies for Life Drive, and now it is our goal to collect needed items for donation to our local Christ Child Society Layette Program. This program services young mothers in need and their beautiful blessings.
We began our meeting this week working in our binders in a section that will be dedicated to Mary. This section will be filled with all the beautiful coloring images of Our Mother. The coloring page the girls completed this time was Our Lady of Fatima in honor of the Miracle at Fatima on October 13.
Then the buds were off to work in the gym, creating posters to advertise our collection effort and decorating boxes for all the donated items. The creativity was flowing...and so was the glue! Unfortunately my camera battery gave out just as I began snapping pictures of each group. I missed getting shots of several hard working young ladies. Oh, snap!
So glad I grabbed a quick picture of Mrs. A's snack before it was too late. Isn't it adorable? A baby box filled with bottles and onsies!
A few of the girls stayed late to help hang the posters and place the boxes throughout the school and at the church. After a couple weeks of collecting, we will gather everything together and then spend some time making blankets for the layettes, which will be added to the donations that we will give to The Society.
What dedicated young ladies!
Until next time,
Keep planting seeds...
