The Gift of Birth Baby Shower
provides a way for people to minister to our clients. The showers can be a
wonderful ministry opportunity for small groups or church groups and most are
held in a church setting. Each expecting mother brings one support person and
receives gift packages including many items for when they bring their baby home.
Usually between 20 and 30 people attend including the mothers and their
support persons, the hosts, the childbirth educator, and the fatherhood coordinator.
The most recent baby shower turned out very well and was a lot of fun for those
in attendance. Since I was unable to attend, it was exciting to watch the
shower unfold through videos and photos as the expecting parents got involved
in games and enjoyed fellowship together.
This Baby Shower was held at the
Caroline House at Briarwood Presbyterian Church, large enough to accommodate
all mothers involved. There were treats and gifts, fun games and a time of prayer and blessing.
The decor was lovely and the food delicious.
Russell shared about the Fatherhood
ministry, and about how we want to emphasize the importance of a father in a
child’s life. He was also able to share the gospel with those who attended the
shower. We are so blessed to have him as our fatherhood coordinator! (Watch the YouTube video here to hear Russell's fatherhood presentation). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwcvjbGa_aA
What a joy these women were!
