God's Big Backyard was all about serving. During the week we focused on greater circles of serving: our families, friends, neighbors, community and Jesus. The kids participated in service projects each day of VBS. As the summer continues we don't want those precious lessons lost.
If your children didn't attend, this is a perfect opportunity to jump in on:
The Family Resource Day project.
This special project provides school children with much needed school supplies, food, clothing and health screenings at Salt & Light in preparation for a new school year who would not have these items without our, and 15 other churches' help. Our church has been asked to help collect:
- 50 new backpacks, any size, solid colors
- 500 packages of loose leaf paper
- 750 erasers
- 1000 blue or black pens
Just an idea. Maybe they would like to raise the money to buy a few of the items or perhaps your kids have a case of the "I want that-s" or perhaps, it is just a way for you to serve togeher.
Again, just an idea,
Jennifer
