Happy New Year!
Reflecting on 2016, we have so much to be grateful for:
• An amazing new home (Miss Mary’s Cottage) on the Annunciation Maternity
Home property
• Helping all the recipients that have come to us in need – hygiene, homeless,
layette, bereavement, and more
• Incredible donors that have assisted in our success, including donated serger
sewing machines and funds for purchasing heavy duty sergers
• Fabulous events - Evening for the Ladies, 1st National Day of Service, Craft Fairs,
Christmas Party, Founder’s Day / Induction / Blessing at the cottage, and more
• Surpassing our fundraising goal at EFL
• Three members of our chapter going to the CCS Convention and Beth’s video
presentation on loom knitting enjoyed by all participants
• Christ Child outreach in Honduras – teaching loom knitting and helping those in
need
• And the best blessing of all - our wonderful members (you!) and their families.
• I want to thank you all for your hard work, thoughts and prayers for a successful
2016 and I can’t wait for 2017
In 2017, I would like to focus on our membership and keeping in touch with everyone and
continuing to add new members. Christ Child Society of Texas, Capital Area covers a very
large area. The goal I have envisioned is to reach out to more donors and recipients in the
areas that we have not covered through churches, clubs, schools, and more. Joan Watkins
is doing an amazing job working on Georgetown groups and Ofelia Melendez has been
successful with our baby showers.
We need to expand on their successes. If you know of a group that would like to help with
a baby shower, throw a party at someone’s house to raise funds for CCS, or any other
ideas, I would love to hear it. Thank you for everything you have done and continue to do
for Christ Child Society. Looking forward to seeing and hearing from you in 2017!
Love, Sarah Brunet
Thank you St. William’s ECDC Preschool for your December Baby Jesus Baby Shower
Here is a picture of a newborn baby girl in
Honduras being swaddled in a Christ Child blanket
that Linda and Berniece gave to missionary friend
Jeannie Loving in Honduras. The baby's mother
lives in a small house with dirt floors and 15 other
family members!
Note: The loomed hat!
ST. MARY LAGO VISTA
SEW MUCH FUN
Thank you Grace Episcopal Preschool
4 and 5 yr olds for donating to CCS at your
Baby Shower for BabyJesus.
2017 CCS Challenge
Linda Foerster, Cristine Alcantar, and Julie Schultz are throwing
down the “gauntlet” (in our case the rotary cutter) and issuing a
challenge to all CCS Members and CCS Friends.
We are challenging you to a cutting contest. We have bolts and bolts and bolts of flannel and fleece. All of these
yards need to be cut before sewing, crocheting, etc. can commence.
We will offer prizes to whoever can cut the most.
Note: Your cutting must pass quality control …
ie. Janie Castillo and Virginia Pargmann.
Bolts of fabric can be picked up at the cottage or you can make
arrangements to pick up from the sewing groups, knitting group, or
we can drop it off.
First Quarter Results Winner will get a prize at our April 1 General
Meeting.
Get those cutters warmed up!

When I read “She wrapped him in swaddling clothes”, I longed to do the same… Mary Virginia Merrick, CCS Founder
