Each summer, children (K-2nd Grade, completed) have an opportunity to learn what it is to be in missions by study and by action. In the past, this group has:
Collected canned goods for Interfaith Ministries, learning how we can help others who are hungry.
Made cookies to take to local firefighters and non-profit workers.
Volunteered at Faith Mission, cleaning their chapel and living spaces.
After working, we usually share in a fun event such as bowling or swimming!
What a great Christmas Gift for our kids and kids in need in our community!
On Saturday, December 3, 2011, nineteen children (grades 1-6), one youth, and nine adults – all representing our church – helped make gifts of “love bags” for young people of the Children’s Home and Teen Shelter to carry their belongings. They then delivered these gifts, got a tour of the Children’s Home, and sang a couple of Christmas carols for the children there!
Ten children, one youth, and two adults got to enjoy the cool as well as delivering aluminum cans, taking a tour of the facility, and preparing plastic bags for their annual school year food drive. We spent all afternoon playing together at Jump for Joy.
