For our VBS service project this year, we're teaming up with residents of Homestead Assisted Living to put together foot care kits for Sole Hope, an organization that works in Uganda to remove parasitic jiggers from children's feet and provide shoes and education to help prevent re-infection. 

Donations for decorating and snack supplies, as well as supplies for the foot care kits and monetary donations to process and ship the kits are needed. A list of items for donation is on the bulletin board in the church hall. Please bring all donations to the church by July 16.

Research on families shows that praying, serving, and talking together are three of the most important things families can do to thrive. CIA—Family Style incorporates all three with the additional benefit of getting support from other families. The program is designed to make family life better while improving the lives of others in the community.
