Monica's Baby Blanket Ministry

The goal for Monica's Blanket Ministry is to gather 200 baby blankets before the first week of December is up. We plan to distribute them in the Copper Basin area through the Copper Basin Baptist Association and Crisis Center located in Ducktown, TN for babies in the area. I am asking you to please consider donating new or gently used baby blankets to help in this ministry...

I am writing to you to share something that I believe God placed on my heart several months ago. I recently heard a missionary describe the poverty in Appalachia, and particularly of the needs of many babies in the region. I can't shake the thoughts of babies shivering through the night and have decided to do something about it. My goal is to gather 200 baby blankets before the first week of December is up. We plan to distribute them in the Copper Basin area through the Copper Basin Baptist Association and Crisis Center located in Ducktown, TN, a women's birthing prison located in West Va., and of course here locally.

I am asking you to please consider donating new or gently used baby blankets to help in this ministry. You can send the donations to me at:

74 Flat Rock Pointe Trl. Dahlonega, Ga. 30533 or feel free to contact me via email at mpblackstock@yahoo.com

A familiar scripture comes to heart every single time I think of getting this ministry started!

And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. Luke 2:7

If you can't give a blanket, please pray that the Lord will lead us in the right direction as we try and get this off the ground. Please, please feel free to share this email with others.

Held by Him,
Monica
