🎄✨ Thank You for Making Christmas Truly Meaningful ✨🎄

We are incredibly thankful for the generosity from AdventHealth Ottawa, Ryan Henningsen Edward Jones, Sacred Heart Catholic Church, and Faith Lutheran Church in donating Christmas toys and hosting our annual client Christmas party. Because of your kindness, families were blessed with more than toys — they were given hope, joy, and lasting memories this Christmas season.

After participating in our event, one family shared:

“Thank you so much for blessing our family with this opportunity to participate at the Life Care Center. We truly see God’s hand in all of it. Being able to participate in the classes allowed us to spend meaningful time together and create memories we will always treasure. 💖 Having the opportunity to buy Christmas gifts with the baby bucks for our children Michael, Brantley, and Elizabeth is such a gift in itself! What you provided went far beyond activities or presents. It was a reminder of God’s provision, His faithfulness, and the way He uses others to show His love. ❤️ Your generosity lifted a weight off our hearts and filled our home with peace, joy, and gratitude this Christmas season. Because of you, our children will experience the joy of Christmas in a special and meaningful way. 🎄🌟 Thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus. Your kindness has made a lasting impact on our family, and we are deeply thankful. 🙏 Thank you from the Wilsons!”

Thank you to every organization, volunteer, and donor who helped make moments like these possible. This is the power of community, compassion, and generosity in action. ❤️🎁🎄

Join Us for Ottawa’s Life Chain – Sunday, October 5, 2025

From 2–3 pm, believers across our city will gather on the downtown Main Street sidewalk to stand prayerfully for life. Pro-life signs will be provided.

Since 1987, the Life Chain has united people across the nation in visible, peaceful prayer on behalf of preborn children—the most vulnerable among us. This year, we’re asking God to save lives and bring an end to abortion in our nation.

Our theme verses are:

2 Chronicles 7:14–15:
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.”

Come stand with us in faith, unity, and prayer. Invite friends and church members—all are welcome.
