SAV-A-LIFE NEWS M AY 2 014 Sav-A-Life Pregnancy Center Baby Closet Most Urgent Needs Mission Statement Sav-A-Life Pregnancy Center is a Christian, pro-life ministry proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ and providing practical, emotional and spiritual assistance to women, men, and children who face pregnancy related issues, who are threatened by abortion or who suffer harm from abortion. Volunteer of the Month—Charle Barnes This month we are honoring Charle Barnes as our Volunteer of the Month. Charle found that she had spare time on her hands after retiring as a nurse from Summerford’s Nursing Home. She decided she wanted to find a biblically based program to help fill her time in a meaningful way. Charle has been with Sav-A-Life for two years and states, “I have been so, so blessed!”. Charle stated that she wished everyone knew about Sav-A-Life and the services that we provide. Charle’s favorite scripture is John 3:16...For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Charle states that this is her favorite scripture because,“We all need to understand how much God loves us.” He loves us with an unfailing love! Charle has five children and numerous Grandchildren and Great-Grandchildren! While Charle states that Sav-A-Life has been a blessing to her, we are very blessed to have Charle as a part of our team of Volunteers! Thank You Southside Baptist!!
