Thanks to all who helped provide some of the other items needed at Camp Living Waters.  I’m sure your contributions will make the coming season at CLW more successful.  I appreciate your generosity.  Monica Maddox from CLW is overwhelmed with your generosity.

Operation Christmas Child

Yesterday, I was asked to remind you of the boxes for Operation located in the hallway across from the kitchen at FBC, Kentwood.  You can choose a brown paper bag, fill it, and return it to the same area.  The bag tells you what to purchase for the shoeboxes we will be packing in the fall.  If your items do not fit in the brown paper bag, simply attach the bag to the outside of the larger bag with a string/ribbon.  Let’s get the items we will need to pack the shoeboxes to bless little children around the world with gifts and the opportunity to meet Jesus.

Camp Living Waters

Monica Maddox, Director of Volunteers, is thrilled and overwhelmed with your contributions for the five trailers and for your willingness to prepare a meal for a group of Campers on Mission who will be there to work March 23-27.  It not too late to call and volunteer.

We are asking that your church or group provide either lunch or supper for this group (40 – 60) Monday-Thursday. I will know for certain on Sunday, March 22 the total number.

We will provide the drinks.

Lunch is served at noon. Lunch is usually something light, such as soup, sandwiches, or hamburgers. Side items have included chips, salad, or fresh fruit.

Supper is served at 5:30. In the past supper has been jambalaya, spaghetti, pork, fried chicken and even pizza. Side dishes that compliment the main course are appreciated. We can provide the garden salad items.

Desserts are not needed as they usually bring enough on their own.

In order for a meal not to be duplicated, please let me know what you wish to provide as soon as possible. I would like to have the meal schedule completed by Feb 16h, 2015.

We also are asking for volunteers to come to the camp and help out with the breakfast meal. This would be Monday – Thursday also. I need 2 volunteers each day from 6:30 – 8:30 a.m. There is no serving line, but I would need help with clean up.
If you have any questions, please call my home. 985-345-3315.
