Camera fun

August 2014

Back to school, back to soccer and back to Outreach and Resources ministry at church...life is just flying by, but I have managed to bring my camera along for the ride...here's what's been going on in August:

Josh and Jon on the first day of school. 4th and 7th grade

There was an awards assembly for a small group of students at Jonathan's school who performed exceptionally well on the State Standardized PASS tests last year. Jonathan received a medalion for achieving a perfect score on the Mathematics portion. He will also be recognized at the school board meeting on Sept. 8. So proud of my Jonathan!

I didn't tell him that the school had called me and asked me to attend the awards day. He was so surprised to see me sitting in the assembly!

A new era of soccer had begun in our home....pink power has taken over. Lily's first year playing soccer.

When she wasn't jumping or twirling, she was hiding behind the coach. The first practice was a little scary for Lily. She came home and told me she hated soccer and wanted to quit. I found out she was scared of getting hit with the ball. We worked through it....

Day #2 of soccer practice got a "two thumbs up" from Lily!

500 children received free, brand new sneakers, back packs and school supplies. Click on this picture to enlarge it....such beautiful faces!

1000 volunteers from Redemption gave 5 hours to Serve Our City Day. Bringing Jesus to our community. The church without walls.

The power of touch and of serving. These kids felt the love of Jesus this day.

When you meet a physical need, a door opens that allows the spiritual to be touched as well. We were praying for this single Mom for strength, protection for her family, and met needs.

Luis after washing this girls feet. Each child received a new pair of socks and a great pair of sneakers for back to school. Luis personally prayed for several children to receive Jesus as their savior.
