Discipleship Focus Group Update
The summer was full of chaos – Camp Chaos that is. Our Sunday morning group of children and approximately 80 children in our Day Care participated in lessons that teach us that Jesus understands and is with us through life’s chaos. On Friday, August 1st, church members and Day Care families joined together to see what the children had been doing, hear them sing the songs they learned and share a casual meal. Thanks to all that assisted with Camp Chaos – Ruth Willis, Kadie Grossman, and Kathy Dunaway in the game center, JoAnna Stitt and Susan Singer in the story/song center, Beth Daly, Mia Shoemaker and Kristi Cofield in the science/art center, and Tom Henry that got the dinner together. A shout out to the women of the Mary Martha class that have always supported VBS and provided sides and dessert for the dinner.
On the mission side of your giving – funds used to assist those in the community in need of help with utility bills has helped 51 families, utilizing $2,650. Think of the blessing this has been to those families.
If this local mission is a passion of yours, please consider an extra donation to this fund as the need is always great.
As the season of Autumn starts up, pray for our children as school gets into full swing. We want to support them as they learn, grow and are challenged.
