Because of your generous support...
Since last summer, we have shipped about two hundred packages filled with Dreams of You Memory Books, Comfort Bears, and/or other items to offer comfort to grieving parents all over the United States, some to Canada, and one to Singapore!(Thank you, thank you, thank you...to those of you who helped to make that possible!!)
We have provided hospital seminars to encourage staff on the importance of compassionate care, the importance of making a lasting, tangible memory, and understanding grief from a bereaved parent's perspective.
We offer an online support group for grieving families: Walking With You.
Families are not charged for our products or services. We are asking if you would prayerfully consider supporting the following upcoming events so that we can continue to provide these products and services free of charge.
Saturday, June 19th ~ 2:00pm SGM Golf Outing
Get a team of golfers! $50 per person (4 person teams) includes 18 holes of golf, cart, and dinner.
Sponsor or donate to the event: $50 & $100 hole sponsor levels, or give toward sponsoring a family or other item. Last year, several bloggers and families donated in memory of their child or in honor of a loved one as a way to "pay it forward".
Contact us ASAP: sufficientgraceministries@gmail.com
Please pray for good weather and a good turn out!!

Our band, One Way, will be performing at the Corn City Festival in August in Deshler, Ohio. Time and date to be announced.

You can also donate anytime and sponsor a family. Details here.
Thank you so much for your prayers and support. Please keep all of these events in prayer. And, if you feel led to blog and share about supporting Sufficient Grace to help spread the word, that would be wonderful. A donation in any amount is helpful. I promise that we will be talking less about support soon, as Operation Sufficient Grace comes to a close in August. It really is my least favorite part of ministry...asking others to give. God has been faithful to provide for the growing needs of this ministry. And, we are so grateful for His faithfulness and for the generosity of His people.
*Please note that Sufficient Grace Ministries for Women and Families is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization. All donations are tax deductible.

Ok, I put up a post on both my blogs about the golf outing. And that totally reminded me I haven't made the ice cream social flyer yet! EEEEKKK! Bad me!! I'm on that now!
I hope the golf outing goes VERY WELL! I'll be praying for great weather and a good turn out! :) can't wait to hear about it!
Praying they are wildly successful! Already told Holly I wish we were closer!!!
I wish I still lived in Ohio. Hoping for good weather for the outings and praying for everything.
