WELCOME

TO MY JOYFUL HEART

We are so happy you are here!

A quick March update: we will begin our next event after Easter so this month we're sorting, catching up, planning the next Trivia night, decking out our Boutique with spring items and continuing to share My Joyful Heart with the community.

How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of the messenger who brings good news, the good news of peace and salvation, the news that the God of Israel reigns! - Isaiah 52:7

Golden Rooster Community Impact Award

This past weekend, St. Peters United Church of Christ Frankfort invited our Founder to share her story. Their Lenten theme is joy and the message revolved around taking care of children as Jesus taught us. Our founder was presented with their inaugural Golden Rooster Community Impact award. Besides the beautiful message and music, and honor, the building was breathtakingly beautiful. Thank you for the warm welcome and ability to share her book, Adventures with Jesus with your congregation.

Sincere needs a sponsor

Sincere wrote a special note because she didn't know anyone was thinking of her. We want the children to not only receive the things they need but to understand that they are loved.

Can you find it in your heart to sponsor her or get a few friends together and sponsor her as a group? A sponsorship costs $35/month ($1.15/day or $420/year). You will receive any of the letters that she sends us and ensure that she receives all her immediate needs.

Specialty Help Needed

We are in need of someone with tech skills to help us with some system needs, specifically dealing with Microsoft Access and Salesforce.

We are searching for someone fluent and active with Ebay for a special project (~5 hours a month in 2024 and most of that can be done at home if desired).

We are looking for 1-3 volunteers willing to help specifically in the boutique. Rotating merchandise, helping with advertising and getting the word out and more!

If this describes you, please send us an email at information@myjoyfulheart.org
