For the 10th year, the Ladies’ Bible Study group has filled stockings for underprivileged children in East Dallas. These children are in the After School Ministry of Dorothy Moore’s Reconciliation Outreach Ministry. We became involved with this group while Dorothy and husband Bob lived at Robson before moving nearer the ministry.
We bought items to fill the stockings for approximately 60 children ages 5 to 16. The Material Girls donated the handmade stockings. Thank you! My dentist, Dr. Ted Dunson of Southridge Dental in Denton, gave us age-appropriate toothbrushes, toothpaste, and floss. Thank you!
The children love giving their parents gifts but cannot afford anything. This year we gave them wooden crosses, angels, stars, etc. to paint and decorate. Thank you to the Woodworkers Group for the angels!
On Monday, December 14, six ladies – Nancy Nevius, Doris Koenig, Gayle England, Helen Reed, Donna Chabot and Ruth Klein – helped me stuff the stockings. Then on Wednesday the 16th, Gayle England, my husband Roger and I went to the Ministry for the Children’s Christmas party. We handed out the stockings and helped the children wrap their gifts for their parents. It was a very special time with these precious children!
