Sufficient Grace Ministries Update Fall 2008

Sufficient Grace Ministries Golf Outing 2008 ~ Thank You!
We are so thankful to everyone who gave of their time, talents, abilities, financial resources and most of all prayers to help support Sufficient Grace Ministries and to help make the Sufficient Grace Ministries Golf Outing (held on June 29, 2008) a success. There were twelve golf teams and a few individuals in attendance totalling about 50 people, with the top three teams receiving prizes. Winning Teams were: 1. Ned Sponsler Team; 2. Mark Feehan Team; 3. Tim Gerken Team. There was a dinner sponsor, three cart sponsors, a beverage sponsor, and nineteen hole sponsors. Thanks to the generosity of the teams, sponsors, individuals, and organizations who donated, more than three thousand dollars was raised to help support the continued efforts and outreaches of Sufficient Grace Ministries for Women, Inc. The money raised will be used to cover the costs of current projects: Dreams of You Memory Books, Burial Gowns, Bracelets, Comfort Bears, Hospital Education, Administrative Costs such as postage, mileage, printing supplies, computer, cell phone and internet expenses and future projects such as the purchase of CD recording equipment, the production of CDs, and the possible publishing of more products to offer comfort and support to bereaved parents.


Sufficient Grace Ministries Expands to Serve Canada!
Recently a Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep photographer and area coordinator from Canada contacted us and requested Dreams of You Memory Book Materials to offer to her clients and to distribute to the other photographers in her region. Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep is an amazing organization, offering the services of professional photographers who freely volunteer their time to give bereaved parents a beautiful photo session with their babies. They provide a wonderful service and giving parents the priceless gift of a tangible memory... photos of their precious baby.
