Bake Sale for Clean Water

Our Third-grade Sunday School class has taken on the challenge of raising funds for a “KHLORGEN 3000” water purification system. Many children and adults around the world suffer from diseases due to a lack of clean drinking water, something that we take for granted. This system will be placed in an orphanage in Tanzania. The orphanage feeds 2,000 meals per day to street children. The cost of the system is approximately $250. Our Sunday School children are making a difference! They are willing to tackle hard things for God. They will be having a BAKE SALE in the gymnasium between services next Sunday, March 14. Please support their efforts. You will enjoy their tasty treats and many orphans in Tanzania will enjoy clean water!

Easter Egg Hunt

Can you believe it? In less than one month Easter will be here! Saturday, April 3 (the day before Easter), we have scheduled our annual Easter Egg Hunt, with an opportunity to minister to hundreds of children. Please be praying for this event and for the TNT Puppet Team as they prepare their message. Also, volunteers and prizes are needed. God has blessed us with candy, but we do give away over 100 prizes and your help would be very much appreciated in this area. There are Easter Crosses on the white lattice in the main foyer with suggestions for prizes that you could donate. You can have a part in sharing the Good News of the eternal prize of everlasting life through faith in our “Risen  Savior.”

Summer Camp Fundraiser

This year’s Yankee Candle Fundraiser (our effort to assist with District event expenses for Girls Ministry Clubs and for 2010 Summer Camp tuition) has already begun, but it’s not too late to get involved. This is a very easy and effective fundraiser. We are praying that many more will take advantage this year, enabling more of our children and youth to be blessed by these events. Last year’s effort was excellent, with 20 young people earning money towards camp and 51 girls going to their district events. Camp is a very powerful ministry; don’t let your child miss it.

Then get set for an awesome production by our own ‘Gold Medal’ winning puppet team directed by Marilene Allen. You haven’t seen anything until you’ve seen their ‘Blacklight’ puppetry.
