Outreach Activity...

Our Faith Mission outreach night was this Thursday.  The people, homeless or "down-on-their-luck", came early and signed up to be a part of the dinner we served.  To receive dinner they have to attend the worship service before.  We had a great time of worship to a full house and J.D. Barnes spoke about "Gettin' Real with God."  They were very appreciative for all that our church did for them.  The VBS kids created centerpieces and placemats for this outreach during their week of activities.  Those who joined us for dinner also took some of the artwork with them.  It was great!  They loved the bright and cheerful look.  THANKS kids for your hard work to make the meal look so nice.  The food was great too!  Thanks to all those who make this outreach possible.

Another outreach that we had this week, as I mentioned above, was Vacation Bible School.  Thanks to Bro. Joseph Ouellette, our Children's Minister, and his team for the great job.  We had the greatest turn-out ever!  We will have a Kidz Service next Wednesday to review this week and to introduce some new kid's programs that will be starting on September 7th.

Dignity Memorial came and presented their "Escape School" program.  It explains how they can escape in the case of a kidnapping.  It is a shame that our kids would have to even consider this, but in the world we live in it is important!  The representative was actually our own, Lynn Dutton.  They gave away two bicycles as a part of the program and the winners (below) could not believe it!  We want to say a great big thank you to Dignity for their donation. 

Somehow, Andrew and myself got roped into donating our faces for the cause!  The kids' teams got points for the number of pies that got mashed into our faces!  Here they are getting ready....

And here we are after getting hit a few times....

I will have to say that the most rewarding part of getting the pies in the face was getting to wipe it all off into a pan and smearing it in Joseph's surprised face!  He arranged us to be a part of this game, but left himself out for some reason.  I just thought he should be included...
