Faith is Simple


A minister at our church recently made the point about children having automatic faith in simple things.. I think this message that appeared on my refrigerator says it all!

A Heart for Haiti


Hannah watched a news report the day after the earthquake in Haiti. She began to have a burden for the people in Haiti and all the tragedies they were facing. She wondered how we could help and so our research began. We realized that our prayers and sending money would be the most effective way to help. She brought a jar out to our church and labeled it "Spare Change for Haiti" and also held a bake sale. Many people helped with the bake sale and together with the spare change, she earned $287 to send to a relief effort that is sending direct help to Haiti. The money will pay for part of a water storage tank or a large tent for shelter. Great job Hannah and thank you to all the children and individuals who helped with the bake sale and bringing their spare change to give. Also, thank you Anwen for drawing the map of Haiti - terrific job! :)
