Planet Wisdom Help Needed

Our annual Planet Wisdom student conference is quickly approaching. In order to make this opportunity financially available to all of our youth, we need your help. If you would like to fully sponsor a student, tickets are $60, for the 2 day weekend experience. If you can’t fully sponsor, please consider making a donation to help us reach our goal of 20 tickets. Please designate your envelope either “Planet Wisdom”, or “Youth”. Thank you for helping all of our kids attend this life-changing event.

 

Get Up & Go Update

The Get Up & Go group would like to meet weekly now.

The new schedule is as follows:

Every 1st and 3rd Thursday at 9:30am –

bring a dish to share

2nd, 4th and 5th Thursdays at 9:30am –

no food, just games

 

Everyone is welcome to join us.

We meet in the Fellowship Hall.

 

Sparky Update

In an effort to be faithful to the new mission field God has given us at Handley Elementary School, we have changed our monthly needs to help with the high demands of November and December.  A room has been designated in the Children’s Wing to store the food until it is needed.  If a need arises for anyone during this time, we will be happy to assist.

Since candy for Light in the Night is such a huge expense, we thought bringing a bag each month would make it easier when October 31 rolls around. 

Let’s try it and see!

The Children’s Ministry Team (CMT)

An updated needs sheet is available in every Sunday School room as well as in the Narthex.
