Commit to the Lord whatever you do and your plans will succeed. —Proverbs 16:3

SERVING MORE THAN ITS FIVE SOUTH SUBURBAN CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS!

So many wonderful friendships have been built through time spent together volunteering at the store. Arms have embraced friends during hard times, hands have been held in prayer. Our Morning Prayer time before we begin our day is a special time to refresh ourselves and be reminded of our mission – our children and Christ-centered education.

I am although reminded how the tunnel vision that we had in the beginning (to have this establishment serve us) has branched out like a flourishing tree, growing new branches, and dropping seeds, that in return have grown new trees. This store and its family of volunteers have been blessed, and in return are blessing others who enter it’s doors in unimaginable ways.

When the New Life Thrift Store was established more than 4 years ago it was with the blessing and agreement of each school to have their parents be a vital part of it's volunteer staffing. Each of our five South Suburban schools and it's families financially reaps the benefits of the store equally, based on current enrollment at the time of gifting. In just four years time, greater than $338,373.00 has been gifted. We ask each family to serve a four our shift for each child they have attending one of our schools. One child = 4 hours, 3 children = 12 hours and so on. We encourage every parent to be involved and be a part of an ever expanding mission - be a part of the family at the New Life Thrift Store. See you soon!!
