Kids Reaching Kids
Throughout the week of VBS the kids were collecting for the Kids Reaching Kids project. This year those monies are going toward purchasing school supplies, materials and scholarships for students at Nazarene schools and child development centers. The kids raised $509.44!
I think we can do more. If you’re interested in helping in this worthwhile cause, designate the amount on your tithe envelope or check for Kids Helping Kids. Together we can make a difference for students who need to have the ingredients necessary for a successful school year!
New Properties & Maintenance Category
I’ve created a new category for the purpose of public correspondence regarding Properties activities (e.g. Ben wanted to post a skills questionaire or ask who might be available to paint something). This is not to be used for Board-only Properties conversations.
This category is restricted to the Church Family group. This means that random websurfers will not read about maintenance that we need done but will this allow for our congregation to participate in things that the Properties chair posts. The Properties chair is always free to also/instead post in Announcements & General News. Just 1) realize the whole world can see it and 2) this would be better suited for announcing a work day rather than a door needing hung or something. (This being said, we should all be mindful of what we post and where! You can always change ‘where’ something is posted even after you post it. And if you’re struggling, I can fix it for you–just call or email me!)
If anyone has any feedback regarding how to change/improve it, let me know! And, Ben, if you’d like it called something else, please let me know and I’ll have it changed.
Thanks!
VBS Closing Program
We had 25 chefs in training come out to show their moms and dads what they learned at Shake it Up Cafe. It was an amazing time.
They shared about the Bible stories they learned, their secret ingredients and the songs they sang. Scraps the raccoon joined us and even Chef Otto came to share with the kids and families one last time.
Our chefs were raising money for the Kids Helping Kids project during VBS. This year the money would go towards purchasing school supplies, materials and scholarships to students at Nazarene schools and Child Development Centers. There was a contest between the boys and girls. The boys WON! All together over $500 was raised for this program. Never underestimate the power of kids!
Over 1500 pictures were taken throughout the week. A video was compiled out of about 500 of those pictures. Look for the video to be posted soon. Also we will soon add a photo gallery of as many photos as possible. Thank you for your prayers and we look forward to another amazing week next year.

Courageous
“Be strong and courageous, for you are the one who will lead these people to possess all the land I swore to their ancestors I would give them. Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the instructions Moses gave you. Do not deviate from them, turning either to the right or to the left. Then you will be successful in everything you do.” Joshua 1: 6-7
These are the verses I used at the men and boys outing. We live in a time where courage has been put where only few can reach it. After reading these verses and chapters around them. I have begun to discover that courage can be found in anyone, at anytime. On September 30 there is a movie coming out called “Courageous”. The movie is made by the same company that made “Facing the Giants” and “Fireproof”. I think it would be a great activity for October if we went to see this movie. I know you will enjoy seeing it; and if you haven’t seen the other movies just let me know. Please feel free to comment to this or any other posts here, your comments and suggestions are wanted and appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Shake it Up Cafe was a HUGE success. 49 children came out to learn what God’s recipe for living really is. But the fun isn’t over just yet.

An offering will be taken for the Kids Helping Kids mission program. Through this program school supplies and materials are purchased for students in five different languages. Our kids have been collecting all week and have raised almost $300!
Join us Sunday for a time of fun, music and food! And get ready to SHAKE IT UP!
