Dear loyal fan base and their parents!!
October is for Individuality and we have a wonderful opportunity to help a local ministry throughout the month! What you'll find below is a brief letter that outlines all you need to know!
This is a great opportunity for kids and parents to work together for something great!
Dear Parents,
The kids are learning this month about how they can put their individuality to use by using what they have to make a difference. They have each made a card and will be making another one Wednesday evening at KidStuf that share the love of Jesus. You are welcome to make your own card(s) at home as well. These cards are going to be handed out to the residents of Paxton Home Ministries. There are 85 residents at the home & we hope to be able to give at least one card to everyone, so we would love for you to help us out. Paxton Ministries is a place of hope and healing for many people. They provide long-term, affordable housing, food and support to low income and disadvantaged adults (primarily Mental Health/Mental Retardation clients). You can see more information at http://www.paxtonmin.org/.
I would love for the kids to be able to help hand them out on October 24th to the residents as they come for lunch. Saturday, October 24, 2009 is national “Make A Difference Day” http://www.usaweekend.com/diffday/ and our kids have the unique opportunity to visit with and hand out these cards as our way of making a difference. We will meet at the church parking lot at 11:15am on October 24th to travel to Paxton home ministries. I anticipate being able to leave to return home by 12:15 or 12:30pm at the latest. Please call or email me to let me know if you and/or your child(ren) will be able to come. We will need drivers as well, so if you can be a driver, please let me know.
Blessings,
Michele Hainly, (mhainly@comcast.net), 541-9961
