Teddy Bears Are Ready to Go to Work!!

As a church we are always looking for neat and creative ways to minister to real needs of the community around us. This ministry seeks to help provide to local fire departments “Mementoes of Hope” to children undergoing emotional crisis.

Our Goal is to provide new 12″ to 14″ Teddy Bears to pack in Fire Trucks and Ambulances and distribute as a symbol of hope, our church’s concern, care, and God’s love.

Teddy Bears have invaded our church and are currently worshipping and learning with us. Children of all ages are welcome to hold, hug, and squeeze our Teddy Bears. They are a special part of our congregation, destined to be a beacon of hope in the life of a child facing crisis. While you invite the Teddy Bears to play with you while at church, in order to keep them safe, they must remain in their special bags.

Each Teddy Bear shares a common story. If you provide a Teddy Bear, please put him/her in a separate bag with a piece of paper that has the Teddy Bear’s name on it, and who it is from (first name or family’s name).

Here is Alfred’s story:

My name is Alfred and I was donated to LifeSpring Community Church by Kit as part of their Teddy Bear ministry; he named me too. I have been sitting at LSCC for several weeks now, listening to Pastor John Baker’s sermons, the music of the worship team, and the joys, concerns, and prayers of my congregational family. Now that I’ve been blessed, it is my turn to complete the mission – to comfort someone special like you. My goal is to give you hope and comfort in your time of need. I am lovable, huggable, and a good listener (just like when you talk to all the important adults in your life). My church family wants you to feel that you are loved by God and cared about by others. I know I will be a blessing to you.

Your Friend,
Alfred
