One of the things very important to the Wellesley Vineyard
is to take care of those who are mostly invisible
in our society. It is in showing love to "the least of these,"
that we become the hands and feet of Jesus,
bringing a little bit of heaven to earth.
It's all part of living that extraordinary life!


BACK PACKS FOR SCHOOL

Every year, we join efforts with the
Wellesley Housing Authority to provide back packs
and school supplies to the kids in our community
who need them the most!
You'll see us promoting this effort at
local stores if you'd like to participate in the effort!

INDIA

The Wellesley Vineyard supports an amazing
organization in India called AGAPE INTERNATIONAL.
They are an organization devoted to the
care of children and families torn apart by AIDS.

Last summer, we sent a team to India  to help
out at the Agape orphanages. They painted one
of the hostels, served as teachers at school,
brought gifts and gave lots of hugs and love to
these dear children.

They also served at a medical clinic in one of the
poorest sections. When the clinic was over, many
of the team had a chance  to pray for the sick, and had the
joy of witnessing some bona fide miracles!
I think it's safe to say, they
will never be the same after such an experience!


"I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat.
I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink..
I needed clothes, and you clothed me.
I was in prison, and you visited me.
Whatever you did for the least of these, you did for me."

                                                     -- Jesus

"We ourselves feel that what we are doing
is just a drop in the ocean.
But the ocean would be less
because of that missing drop."

                                   -- Mother Theresa
