GOOD NEWS OF THE WEEK
We celebrate the things that we have offered to God that are bearing fruit-- We celebrate what God is doing!
We are on the last day of another amazing week of Vacation Bible School! God has been moving mightily throughout the week, touching the lives of the children and leaders alike. Continue to pray that the spark that may have been lit will soon burn brighter, because of the 660 kids that are here, 83% (553) are not Grace members, and 41% (274) of the kids listed no church affiliation at all!
We are thankful for the 150 teens and 185 adult volunteers who have been sharing a big part of their week with VBS, and the numerous behind-the-scenes folks working tirelessly over the last weeks and months to make this week the best of the summer.
The kids have been busy this week serving our neighbors with donations! The money donated to Change 4 Change throughout the week will go to further programs at Mission Waco (where our Middle School students will be serving on their mission trip in July). In addition, we are collecting board games for kids and coloring books for boys and girls at Mission Waco. Finally, the children are also bringing food items to help the food pantry at West Houston Assistance Ministries. The amounts donated so far has been amazing, and we haven't even added the Thursday totals yet!
Food for WHAM: 547 items
Games: 89 board games
Books: 134 coloring books
Change 4 Change: $538.18
Intersect students are excited to partner with Family Legacy to pack meals for the children of Zambia. Through Wednesday, they have packed an astounding 21,800 meals total! Their goal on Thursday is 13,200 more!
