Hi Ya All,

I want to share about what the children are doing as a group. They are bringing in nonperishable food and clothes for those in need. We will be collecting stuff every season.

In the 'Big Glass Bottle' we are collecting money for different ministries. We have sent over a hundred dollars - two summers to 'The Gospel Box'. 'The Gospel Box' goes around the world to tell children that have never heard - the Good News of Jesus. This Christmas we sent a hundred dollars to 'Charlie's Lunch'. Ask a child and they will tell you about 'Charlie's Lunch'. I was thinking that this next offering we send to the Root family to bless them for Easter.

Have I told you yet that our kids are the GREATEST! They are a group of willing workers with really big hearts.

Some of you might not have children in Sunday school or you might be a teen but I was thinking you might want to participate, too.

Love ya all,
~ Pastor Cindy

Isaiah 58
6-9
"This is the kind of fast day I'm after:
to break the chains of injustice,
get rid of exploitation in the workplace,
free the oppressed, cancel debts.
What I'm interested in seeing you do is:
sharing your food with the hungry,
inviting the homeless poor into your homes,
putting clothes on the shivering ill-clad,
being available to your own families.
Do this and the lights will turn on,
and your lives will turn around at once.
Your righteousness will pave your way.
The God of Glory will secure your passage.
Then when you pray, God will answer.
You'll call out for help and I'll say, 'Here I am.'
