SoCalConnected has been focusing on Outreach to TWO major ministries in our local area.

Isaiah's House is a Women's Homeless Shelter

in Santa Ana, CA.

About 60-80 women come to this shelter to eat a hot meal

and sleep on a mat (inside or outside).

After working with these women in this past year, we have been beyond BLESSED by their spirits, perspective, and perseverance.

Volunteers from Saddleback Covenant Church,

and local High Schools have come to serve

in ANY way they can.

It has truly given these women HOPE that people DO care...

WE CARE!

If you would like to know more, or volunteer, or donate to this Shelter,

please contact us at socalconnected@yahoo.com.

We will CONNECT you!

There are ALWAYS ways you can help...

whether it be socks, blankets, food, or time,

the women of Isaiah's House will be grateful!

Thank You to ALL who have served!

Christmas Craft Night at Lighthouse

Saddleback Valley Christian School student, Mysaki,

is doing her Senior Project on Lighthouse and boy...oh, boy...

is she making a difference!

Her love for the crew at Lighthouse is contageous

and spreading (in a good way)!!

She single-handedly taught this Christmas Craft to 50 kids

all by herself!

They loved it!

These ornaments will be hanging on Lighthouse's Christmas Tree,

along with a gift for this amazing ministry for individuals with Special Needs.

If you, or someone you know,

would like to help donate your time or give a gift to this organization,

please contact socalconnected@yahoo.com.

We will CONNECT you!

The Lighthouse is held at Coast Hills Church in

Orange County from 7-8:30pm.

The news has spread about how awesome and FUN this group is!

Please join us and spread some love!

Game Night at Isaiah's House

Isaiah's House is full to the brim with volunteers this time of year!

Saddleback Valley Christian School and JSerra students united

for a night of games, coffee, and dessert!

These students didn't hesitate to dive into helping the women in this shelter.

They served with joy and brought laughter into this House!

Thank you to EACH and EVERY student who came and

made a difference in these women's lives.

It's amazing that playing a game of Yahtzee with someone can actually

make a tremendous impact and difference in their lives...

Students...You proved that to be true!

Keep it up!

Thanksgiving at Lighthouse

THANK YOU to ALL our Lighthouse volunteers that helped out at

their Thanksgiving Dinner Night!

From serving food, to buttering bread, to preparing the buffet table, and finally to cleanin' up the kitchen after all that dining...

you ALL made such an incredible impact on our amazing friends at Lighthouse!

Thank you to Mandi and Heidi for organizing such an awesome event

that blessed so many people.

The Lighthouse is ALWAYS looking for people to show love and impact those with Special Needs.
