wrapped candy
snacks
baby wipes

We will also be making up a box for Andy Andrews, who is now at Clemson University. We will send a box of snacks and restaurant cards. Cards wanted can be from:

Subway

Moe's and anything else you can think of

SHOE BOXES

We will begin to decorate shoe boxes again for the homeless. If you can bring some in, paint them for us, or help us deliver them to the homeless in December, please let Susan Kirkley or Onalee Avinger know. Now is the time for everyone to start to bring in "daily needs." Please mark bags on the outside with the words "Kid's Club."

Thank you for all of your help. We look forward to another great year!

Laboring on Labor Day!
Sunday, September 09, 2007

Well, let's see....this is just how hard the Youth worked to get ready to plant the "top secret" garden for Pearl Jones, the Director of Christian Education.

LOL! Now really...it was a very warm Labor Day afternoon. The Youth, some parents, youth leaders and other adults gathered at the church for an exciting afternoon of dirt, weeds, manure (oh so fragrant), and fun.. for a work party. The goal: To get the ground ready for a "top secret garden" to be planted in honor of Pearl Jones, the director of Christian Education. The garden is to honor her and the great strides that Christian education, at our church, is making.

The afternoon was spent digging up grass, sorting out
weeds, tilling, raking and hoeing.

Everyone pitched in and many hands made light work.

The spreading of manure was most aromatic!
It was worked into the soil.

We even had time for a water break!

When it was all over, we were able to place the garden stones
in preliminary spots so that we could get an idea of where
things were to be placed according to the design obtained by Jean Rogers.

Now we were just waiting for the plants that had been ordered to come in and a special garden stone to be made just for Pearl! After an afternoon of digging, we all had lunch topped off with homemade ice cream by Lindy Coleman. If you were not there, you missed a real treat!

There was no sign of Pearl! The secret mission went off as planned.

God Loves You!
