Past Monday night over 40 single moms, 70 of their kids and over 80 community and church volunteers packed out the Hope Church facilities for the Fifth Annual "Hair by Hope" event for single moms - in the midst of a freak Dallas snowstorm! It was a spectacular success!
The entire building was converted into a fabulous spa look, with the top hair stylists in the area giving free haircuts to single moms, makeovers for all, massages and gift-bags full of goodies - along with an amazing plush pink bathrobe - There were few dry eyes in the place -
One mom said 'for the first time, in a long time. she felt like a lady' - wow - another just stood with her gift bag of stuff and cried, overwhelmed with love - another hugged everyone...it was beautiful -
and... the men that walked the ladies with their children to and from their cars - in the driving snow - that was impressive!
My wife Judi had this idea a few years ago as a way to express the love of God to single moms - and now it is a highly anticipated community event in this area every year!
This is what church is all about! Let's take Jesus to the culture!
