Baby Shower
Host a Baby Shower
Your support can mean the world to a woman who has chosen life for her baby at Life Centers.
FAQ
- Where do we start?
Select a coordinator to serve as the hostess and to organize the event. - Is there more than one way to host this event?
Absolutely! Be creative you may decide to have an afternoon party or maybe a collection over a period. Choose a time and place that would suit your congregation. - How do I promote our baby shower?
Begin one to two months before the event. Be sure to announce the shower in the church bulletin and from the pulpit. Use e-mail and church newsletters where available. Posters and flyers are good also. Reminders may be given in Sunday School classes and in the nursery. - How do we communicate the ministry of Alpha’s Glory to our congregation?
A brochure explaining the services offered; the statement of faith and the commitment of care is available from the Alpha’s Glory CPC’s office. A video, a guest speaker and a table top display are available upon request. - What types of baby things do you need?
The items that are difficult to keep on hand because of the high demand are the following: diapers, wipes, toiletries (powder, lotion, shampoo, bath, and ointment), bibs, pacifiers, new bottles, jars of baby food and formula. - Do you take used items?
Yes. We recycle baby clothes (newborn to 2T) that are gently used and may be given as a gift. We also take baby furnishings such as strollers, bassinettes, high chairs, cribs and car seats. - Are there any baby items that you do not accept?
Yes. By law we may not give expired car seats, used baby bottles or cribs with drop-down sides. We have no way of fixing baby items, so we may not take broken or non- working items. - How often should our church or organization hold a baby shower for the Center?
Once a year would be a big help to the Center. You may want to choose a certain time of the year and make it an annual event for your church or organization.
