Water Project a Big Success and more!

The total for the African Water Project is in and it is a good one! The children raised $219 during VBS and the Unity Service Sunday donation was $216! That is a total of $435 plus some extra change! Great job everyone and to God be the glory! This money will be sent to World Vision to assist in providing life giving water to African children.

Speaking of children, our highest total of attendance for one night was 111 kids and 31 teens! The overall average was approximately 1oo kids and over 25 teens per night. Thanks again to everyone and praise God for the spreading of the Gospel to kids in our community.

Please pray for God's direction next year for a three night VBS. This idea is under consideration because of leaders and children's busy schedules. As we continue holding VBS outdoors in August the heat tends to wear folks down over five days. So please pray for the leadership so that God would lead us in the right direction.

Finally, there has been an increase in teens attending VBS and we are praying for God to help us put together a ministry plan for them. It would be nice each evening for a special devotional for teens that corresponds with the VBS theme lead by local youth ministers. I would also like to see us close out the last night with a youth concert by a Christian band jamming for Jesus in the Grove! There are some good bands in our area, help us pray for the right one and if the concert would be part of God's plan for the VBS.

Thanks everyone for all your prayers and help. Before you know it we will be right back at the Grove for VBS 2008, see ya then!
