February is Appreciation month...

to all you WECC members who have given so much to support our partner ministries this past year. Here is a word of thanks from one of our HFN partners, Hope Clinic for Women.

Hope Clinic for Women just celebrated our 25th year of ministry in Nashville and I know that this would not have been possible without YOU! On behalf of our board, staff, volunteers and especially clients...thank you West End Community Church!

We celebrate your faithful support that has allowed us to continue listening to the needs of our clients and expanding our services to better meet those needs. Not only have you provided finances, but you have been the hands and feet of Christ, serving the people that walk through our doors. You have sat in counseling rooms with our clients, listening to their fears and doubts while reaching them with patience, love and providing a safe place for them to hear the truth. You’ve held their hand during an ultrasound as they wait to hear that first heartbeat. You have been that warm, calm voice on the other end of a crisis call. You have worked from your homes folding, stuffing and sealing envelopes, you have walked through our building and prayed.

We could not do this without you. You have been a part of changing lives and transforming hearts for the last ten years and appreciate every dollar, every call, every moment and every prayer. Because these gifts of time, prayer and money we are able to celebrate nearly 6,000 babies born to our clients since 1983! Your support inspires us to continue reaching out to people with the message of Christ’s hope and healing.

Blessings to you,
Lauren Overbeek on behalf of Hope Clinic for Women
