REMINDER - Please join us to:

Celebrate a Heavenly Birthday Party

Sunday at Agape House – 1 to 4 p.m.

Come browse through the items for sale in the gym, including some baked goods and crafts (some made by the girls); hear the Agape Angels sing in the Sanctuary; and get a tour of our facility.  We’re located at 215 S Main Street in Walworth.

Praise God

-   - prayers have been answered; the spiritual attack we were enduring has been lifted!!!

-   - for the donation of funding to upgrade our computers for staff by Ron Meissen; the purchases are probably being made as you read this message. We are also very thankful for Jim Lambiris and his gift of helping us with our purchase, as well as setting up the new computers, transferring data, etc.!

-   - for the donation of a new vacuum cleaner (by an anonymous donor); we needed a new one so much that the girls -are actually enjoying cleaning today!!!

-   - that the stove in the TLH was repairable and is now working!

“And the Lord shall guide you continually and satisfy you in drought and in dry places and make strong your bones. And you shall be like a watered garden and like a spring of water whose waters fail not.” ~ Isaiah 58:11

Capital Campaign – Resurfacing of ‘Blacktop’ at both Properties – If you would like to contribute specifically to this cause, please indicate ‘Blacktop’ on the memo line of your check.  We were given a fabulous quote of $4,500 for this much-needed project to help maintain the life of the blacktop surfaces at both properties.

Tuition Assistance - Provide financial support to help with tuition assistance for a girl here; we have many girls whose families are only able to pay a fraction of the cost of the services we provide for them.

Box 68, Walworth, WI 53184.  We also have a PayPal donation link on our website soon at www.agapehouseforgirls.org.
