Camp Allendale Sponsors–                                                                                                                All children deserve to go to camp, but far too many families miss out because their family cannot afford it. (The cost of camp for 2024… 1st grade $45, 2nd grade $88, Mission Allendale $295 and 3rd grade thru High School are all over $400 per child).                                                                                                                          Would you consider donating an amount to offset this total or sponsoring a child for camp? You can simply put a check in the offering, make sure to write “Camp Scholarship” on the memo line. Please see Megan Milnes if you have any questions. Thank you!

Children Volunteer Paperwork-                                                                                                Volunteers need to return their completed “Children’s Ministry Applications” forms to Megan at their earliest convenience. Thanks!

IDES Son Fish Banks- With a Son Fish Bank, there is no easier way to help the hungry and hurting. Merely save up your spare change inside the fish, and make a designated donation to IDES for the total amount once it’s full. 100% of the funds is distributed to IDES hunger relief projects around the world. The banks can also be used as a fantastic teaching tool for children in communicating the idea of mission and God’s power. $0.25 provides one meal for a hungry child. Sign up in the foyer to take a bank and for more information.
