January FISH

I'm proud of the bunch of staunch Panthers fans who gathered in the Canteen for FISH on Sunday afternoon.  We had a good time making Rainbow Loom bracelets and Prayer beads and hearing Merrily and Mrs. Revonda share about their life dealing with Cystic Fibrosis. 

Here are several links to videos we watched:

Here's another website you might enjoy visiting to help you learn more about Cystic Fibrosis.

If you would like to donate to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in Honor of Merrily Tew you may do so at Revonda's fundraising page:  http://www.cff.org/LWC/dsp_donationPage.cfm?idEvent=23688&idUser=524385


We are selling Rainbow Loom Bracelets for $1 each to raise money to help put an end to childhood cancer!  The prayer beads we made will be available for Rev. Sarah and the other ministers to share with others.  The kids made some for themselves and then some for others.  Supplies for these two projects are always available if you would like to borrow them to make these at home. 

FISH: First In Serving Him is a group of 3rd, 4th and 5th graders with a heart for serving God by serving others.  We meet the second Sunday of each month. 

In February we'll have two activities:  Collecting $ after worship on SOUPer Bowl Sunday, February 2nd. All money goes to Crisis Assistance ministry.  But instead of just sending a check - We're going shopping!  On February 9th we'll meet from 4 to 6 p.m. at Sam's Club - yes, the Sam's Club, on Franklin Blvd. to shop for CAM.  MORE parents will be needed for this event!
