Dylan's jr. high group (at church) focused on service during their small group session this time. As part of the lesson they had to decide on a way that they could serve people in our area. The girls chose to raise money for Steve's Hope. They are a non profit that helps families with housing and other needs while their children are in the hospital due to cancer or other illnesses. The girls hosted a pancake breakfast at a local restaurant last weekend to raise the money. They served their guests and even had a raffle! They did a great job. The boys chose to raise money for the GAP (God Always Provides) food bank. As part of their fundraiser, they sold tickets to a very fun laser tag party. A portion of the money raised was used to feed families dinner at the GAP (last Thursday) while they waited in line for their groceries. The water district and Frito Lay even donated the water and chips. The boys spent the afternoon wrapping up hot dogs and handing out chips and water. The rest of the money was donated to the GAP to purchase more groceries. They also did a can drive and were able to donate quite a few canned goods to the food bank! It was neat to see the kids really get involved and enjoy their service projects!
