School is Back

We just finished our first two weeks of after school and have 23 children in the program. We have not only K-6th grade this year but have also taken on a 4 year old class that starts 30 minutes before the other kids get there and lets out at 6 with everyone else. It haas been a really great start to the school year, we have been having a lot of fun and have already taken on a Fall service project, collecting change from the kids to adopt a child from the Angel Tree.
Right now there are only four staff members including myself and Corey teaching in the after school program but luckily there are two teens that have committed to bring there everyday to help with whatever we need help with and to help me with the 4's class. Little kids are so cute and complicted, you never know what is going to come out of their mouths, cute, wired, and really bad, but mostly cute.
Please be praying for all our families in the community. There has been a lot of sickness going around, strep and flu, and several of our children and elderly have been down for several days now, with this crud. It really affects our programs and being able to be in the schools because when everyone is sick people don't come to things, and programs have to be cancelled. We know folks will get healthy soon enough, we just pray it's before people's lives are really affected.

Last thing, I hope to get a picture of our kids up sometime this week, we got one of them the other day, we had about 16 kids there at the time, i will warn you it's a really cute picture =)

Have a Fantastic Night !!

More Work Week Pictures and a lil' more

Sorry i had to do this in two different stages, the other day the internet was really slow and it took me seriously 3 hours to get what few pictures i got up up becuase of the slow connection.... i hope ya'll enjoy the photos, they came from 5 different cameras over the course of work week. It was a really great week and a lot of work got done dispite power outtages, storms, lightening strikes, and other small complications - Praise God for all His goodness!

Some Work Week Pics - EnJoy!

Blessings!

Just wanted to let everyone know that God has been answering our prayers down here. We have been praying for another freezer, in order to help with the overload of food we have to purchase in the summer, and Praise GOD that prayer has been answered! We have had a couple out of Brannon Friends offer us a chest freezer that they don't need anymore and want to donate. Praise God for people who think about the center and what the needs here might be, it makes such a huge difference in the ministry that happens here. Thanks to everyone who has blessed us and this ministry!

Also i haven't forgotten about Work Week and VBS Pictures i just have had some unexpected stuff come up and haven't had the chance to sit down and upload any pictures yet...but no fret i will be doing it before school starts or it will never get done, so be looking for them before next week.

Oh and by the way we had our Sanktown ReStore Back To School sale last night and had over 35 families come out for it, so thanks to all those who sent backpacks over the past year, and for those who have or will send money to help support our backpack / school ministry.


Praise God for all the things He has done!!!
