Info!

“A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. God sets the lonely in families….” Psalm 68:5-6a

How thankful I am to be a part of God’s Eternal family, and what a privilege it is to also be a part of The O’Connor House family. We desire that the Lord uses us to be a family to the women and children who enter this home, and He has in some of their lives. The Lord Jesus is the one who cares for us, and is with us, no matter what the circumstances. Pray with me that the women would all know the blessing of being in the Lord Jesus’ family and having God as their Father.

What a blessing it was to host Mekhi’s 1st Birthday party this past weekend. I was so touched by the love you could feel in this house…it really felt like a family had come together to celebrate! I wish all of you could have experienced the day. Thank you so much to those of you who were able to attend and join this family for Mekhi’s big day! Attached is a picture of the fun.

We want to send a special thank you to Nancy Childs and the Carmel Friends Church Women’s Circle for all the wonderful gifts they gave to The O'Connor House this week. Also, we want to thank Orchard Park Presbyterian for the fun shower they held for The O'Connor House women last week. It is such a blessing to have friends like you who partner with us in providing needs and desires. We are so blessed! Thank you!

We at The O'Connor House are trying to get the word out about this organization. Our Director, Mandy Teter, would love to come and talk with your business, church, small group, etc., to share more about this ministry. Please give her a call at 317-508-9627 or e-mail her at mteter@theoconnorhouse.org, to set up a time. More people in central Indiana need to hear!

Requests for this week:
• Carpet Vacuum Cleaner (used is fine—ours is broken)
• Paper Towels
• Baby Wipes

Thankful for a Heavenly Father and an Eternal Family,

Elli Jones
