Things here at the Galesburg Rescue Mission and Women’s Shelter are picking up! We have made some changes to our guidelines, which seem to be going well. It has been an adjustment for all of the residents, but it has been a great benefit. Of course some like it and some don’t, but they are for the good of all. What a great Dedication Service we had! I believe that God is blessing us and it is all because of the generosity of folks like you that invest in our ministry. May is a beautiful time of the year. The April showers are over and the May flowers are in full bloom. The grass is green and the trees are full of leaves and it is warming up. May also brings us to a very special day...Mother’s Day. As we celebrate our mothers let’s remember that they are the reason we are here and they deserve all the honor that we can bestow upon them. It is sad that many will only honor their mothers one day of the year. We need to celebrate our mothers every day. If your mother is still alive the 12th of this month needs to be a day that you honor her in any and every way that you can. Get her flowers, take her out to lunch, do anything that you can to make her feel special. If your mother has already passed, take time to remember all that she meant to you. When I stop and remember my own mother, I am filled with gratitude for all that she taught me and instilled into my life. A great way for you to honor your mother would be to make a memorial donation or an honorarium to the Mission as an investment in the lives of those in need. Make out a check and put their names on the memo line and use the envelope and send it back to us and we will make sure they are honored in our June Newsletter. Please continue to pray for us here at the Galesburg Rescue Mission, Women’s Shelter, and Pregnancy Center as we endeavor to reach others with the Gospel and help others.

May flowers are in bloom, and a lot’s happening at the Pregnancy Center. Mark your calendars for our Mother’s Day Trivia on May 11th. May is a month where we reflect on Mother’s Day. Motherhood is a job that doesn’t have to be done alone. Finding out you’re going to be a mom can be a scary idea, and that is why at the Pregnancy Center we come alongside women to help them see how strong they are. By showing the love of Christ in walking with these women, future generations can be shown a love that God wants us to know. Some clients are easier to teach than others, but at the end of the day the love of the Father shines through. We pray for and thank all those who support the Women’s Pregnancy Center. I hope to see your smiling faces on May 11th. Please call to reserve your table at (309) 343-4739, or we can assign you one that day. Tables are $100 for a team of up to ten. Help us make this a special Mother’s Day. God Bless. Dawn Walter
