First Fruits Friday - JOY
At Seneca, we have been blessed to witness Christ’s Spirit in an incredible way. Seneca has been filled with laughter, joy, kindness and genuine love this month. This year we hosted two Christmas parties for our clients, one in Spanish for our Hispanic moms and one in English for our American moms. Our clients' numbers have grown so much in the last months! Thank you God for the opportunity to serve each of these women! Thank you so much to our supporters and volunteers to make these parties possible! Santa was here, we had food, lots of toys, candy and fellowship, celebrating together the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ!

First Fruits Friday - Following God's Call

A fellow Pastor from Ohio even called him that week to pray about it because of the recent law that was passed in that state. The Pastor said he had preached for over 30 years and had never preached about the sin of abortion. I offered to talk during his service so I could share what Seneca is doing and what is happening next door at the abortion facility. He was excited about it.
