Our mission is to meet children's needs in our community while encouraging and developing Christ-centered and church-involved relationships with their families.
Blessings for Children, a Shalimar UMC mission outreach to community families with children ages newborn through 5th grade. Operating since January 2019 out of The Refuge Room in Cross Corner, behind the church, we are open every Wednesday from 9:00 a.m. -12:00 p.m. Our volunteers will seek to share God’s love and serve His children in need by providing clothing, personal care items, school supplies, Christ-centered materials, and church event invitations to families who visit our ministry.
