Today we had Release Time with the 1st thru 4th Graders (two different groups). We had received information that we could make Christmas Cards for Prisoners - working thru the Cornerstone Prison Church in the Sioux Falls area. They only want cards from 1st thru 5th graders - not adults. The cards are needed by the November18 - in Sioux Falls. So if we could get them done before that = our Pastor Steve was willing to send them on their way.
Today we worked on the cards and what fun. We gave a few ideas for the
kids - but several had ideas of their own. Below are some pictures of the
handy work.
One even had a very special message for the prisoners. And even though the spelling might be a bit off - anyone can certainly get the message :) :) No - we didn't give Lane the idea --- and if you look above - there is one card that says "lison to the Bibol". :) That little guy really has the right idea. :)
What fun!!! And done in time ----- although I have to remember to get them back to church. I just had to take them home and get some pictures.
On Monday we hope to have a "planning meeting" for a new Youth Group. We have gotten permission to use the Boys and Girls Club in Rosebud on Saturday afternoons...... We have a group from our Church and others that are interested in getting it going......Please pray for this. We will be targeting kids who have come to Prairie Light Youth Camp ...and "grow" from there. Gary and I will only be a part of the group - we will not "be in charge" - but just actively participating..... we are excited. Please pray that the families who are contacted will be interested in sending their kids and that the kids (7th grade on up) will want to come and participate.
Thank You So Much!!!!
Gary and Barb
