Pleasant Grove Baptist Church of Neese, Georgia

The Baptist Women of Pleasant Grove are seeking your help in establishing a ministry to show God’s love to children in crisis situations. We want to comfort and cheer children found in emergency or family crisis situations in the Madison County Sheriff’s department and the Madison County Emergency Medical Services (ambulances).

Please bring 12- to 15-inch inexpensive new teddy bears to church during June and July. A tag will be attached to the bears giving scripture verses and the church’s name, address and phone number.

A Sunday in August will be chosen to display all the bears and a special dedication service will be held during the worship hour. After the service the bears will be individually wrapped in cellophane and delivered to the sheriff’s office and the ambulance service. A bear can be kept in the patrol cars and ambulances at all times and given to children as the need arises.
