Thoughts from our other staff...
Our church will be collecting items to send to a special needs home in Guatemala. These items are given to the mothers who arrive with special needs children who need surgery. They stay for weeks, by the side of their children, with no clothes other than the ones on their backs. We will get these items to Kathy Wheeler, Nancy Lester's sister, who spends 6 months a year as a volunteer there.
Our church will be making skirts and collecting the following items for mothers and children:
Small or medium tops (No plunging necklines or sleeveless ones, please).
Sandals or flip flops in size 6 or 7. Lightweight towels, wash cloths. Trial size: soap, shampoo, cream rinse, deodorant. Hair brushes, pony tail or headbands. Receiving blankets and onesies.
Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all
peoples. Psalm 96:3 (NKJV)
“MAD Weekend 2015” has come and gone, but will not be
soon forgotten. A time of fellowship and fun whether it be diving
into God's Word, doing a service project, or getting knocked over
by a wrecking ball, memories have been made. I can say that MAD
Weekend never stops surprising me as I get to be front row to
watch God at work amongst young people and adults. As everyone
took a walk through the book of James the theme was clear. Live
your faith with action which we declared to be boiled down to 2
words...DO WORK...MAD Weekend is not only a weekend for the
students, but it is a weekend for the adults as they get to teach,
lead, and be involved in the lives of teenagers. I can't express how
proud I am to serve alongside some of the best youth workers I
know and without their leadership and dedication MAD Weekend
doesn't happen. I found myself smiling as I thought back on the
weekend and was just reminded of how good and gracious God is
to allow all of us the privilege of doing His work. So I say all this to
send out to the Church the same message that was sent out to the
teens this past weekend and that is.......DO WORK.
Smile, Rev Kev
