For the past 3 years, we've hosted a "Pajama Club." We've had a local teacher commit to collecting new kid's pjs every year as her class' Christmas project. Each January, we give these to the girls and their babies. The temperature dips pretty low in Michigan, so it's great to see all of these kids with new, warm, & clean pjs.
A few years ago, we decided to make a whole club out of this. We have husbands/committee members/area directors come and make us "breakfast for dinner." The girls, babies, and mentors all show up in their pajamas (or a decent "PG" version of them.) We offer door prizes for warmest pjs, most colorful, etc. (All categories are announced a previous club and listed on posters hanging up at the schools.) We have eggs, pancakes, cinnamon rolls, etc. The club talk centers around finding peace and rest in Christ. At the end of club, we hand out the pajamas to the moms! It's a fun way to provide the girls something many of them need.
