Hello! 

Thank you for your generosity so far towards our Mother's Day giving for the local women's shelter. We are so grateful for your donations! This Sunday 2nd May is the last chance to bring along your contributions, and we will pack up the gift bags later on in the afternoon (details below). The gifts will be delivered next week, just in time for Mother's Day!

Some of you have been so kind to ask what items we still need to make up the 20 gift bags, so you can donate thoughtfully. Below is a list of the items we still need, and how many of each item we still require.

Items still needed:

• Nail Polish remover: 19
• Emery boards: 10
• Facial cleanser: 12
• Hand cream: 8
• Body lotion: 16
• Shampoo & Conditioner: 12
• Brushes/combs: 13
• Razors (small packs please ie 2 or 3 razors per pack): 15
• Hand wash: 15
• Body wash/scrub: 10
• Body spray: 14

You can bring your items to church on Sunday morning and place them in the baskets as per previous weeks. If you can't make it on Sunday, but would still like to contribute, please contact Lis or Carmen to make alternative arrangements.

We also welcome you to come and help us pack the gift bags! Carmen and Lis will be at the Ministry Centre from 3pm to organise the items and arrange the gift bags, and invite anyone to come along to help.

Thank you again for your kindness and generosity as we bring a little love, hope and joy to women experiencing a very difficult time in their lives. 

Mother's Day Giving: Supporting our local Women's Shelter

In the lead up to Mother's Day, we will be collecting pamper items to make into pamper packs for our local women's shelter, and we would love you to join us as we bless these women! C3 Norwood has a long-standing partnership with the shelter who provide support for women (and their children) experiencing domestic violence. Each year we commit to deliver pamper packs, and this year we will be delivering 20 of these. It has been an especially difficult time during Covid-19, so this year more than ever we want to show the love of Jesus to these women through assembling beautiful pamper packs. 

Please join us by bringing quality items to church or Dinner Party over the next few weeks (the last day to donate will be Sunday, May 2). There will be a large basket available at church for you to place your donated items. We ask that you donate brand new, individually packaged items, and suggested items include:

• Shampoo and conditioner
• Body wash/shower gel
• Body sponge/loofah
• Hand cream
• Body lotion/moisturizing cream
• Toothbrush (individually wrapped and sealed)
• Toothpaste
• Brush/comb
• Deodorant
• Shower cap
• Soap
• Razors (no large packs please, packs of 2 or 3 is preferable)
• Body scrub
• Face mask (peel off skin treatment)
• Body spray
• Bath bombs/bath soak
• Nail polish
• Nail polish remover
• Emery board/nail file
• Makeup remover wipes/pads
• Small tissue packs

If you have any questions or queries related to this, please don't hesitate to talk to Lis or Carmen.

Thank you for joining with us as we bring a little love, hope and joy to women experiencing a very difficult time in their lives.
