What's Happening This Week 2-23-2010

The 30 Hour Famine was amazing!!  26 youth and 3 adults came together for our all-nighter where we learned about the effects of hunger around the world.  And, so far, we have raised $1700 (our most ever!).  Thank you to Sally Goodson and Scott Nelson for being a part of the Famine as sponsors.  Here are the youth who participated in the Famine…Sidney Smith, Makenzie Moore, Evan Holt, AJ Wilson, Madi Moore, Kristen Lumpkins, Ella McNeely, Allison McNeely, Lynn Rich, Isabella Bond, Joey Beeler, Blair McGehee, Kyle Lefler, Braden Lefler, Katie Hobble, Josh Beall, Rebecca OIson, Devon Smith, Alec Campbell, Dalton Melfi, Sam Oleson, Caroline Mattingly, Matthew Lee, Michael Lee, Brianna Turner and Emily McMinnville.  Annie Calvert and Alec Wilson could not participate Friday night, but still raised money and went without food.  You all are incredible!! 

 

We still have some children available to sponsor through World Vision. We will have a booth in the Coffee House on Wednesday  for you to pick your child!! For just $35 a month, YOU can change a child’s life.  And, if you did pick up a folder of a child and haven’t returned your envelope to me…if you could do that as soon as possible with your first payment, that would be wonderful!!

 

All of our YOUTH MINISTRIES are going strong, I encourage you to be involved in absolutely everything you can be.  It is an unbelievable time together growing in faith!
