Hello Glen Mar Kids!
It has been a very exciting summer here at Glen Mar. The week of July 8-12 we had Vacation Bible School and were able to share how amazing a friendship with God can be! We learned that God is a friend who is real, whom we can trust, who loves us, that He is a friend forever and a friend to everyone! Can I get a THANKS GOD!
Each year we have an outreach project and this year we selected World Vision to help provide clean water to the children of Honduras. For just $5, they can give a child clean water for a whole year! We set a goal of $500 and Ms. Julie pledged to Kiss a Fish if we hit our goal. We ended up raising $2,000 for clean water!! So, I had to kiss “Holy Mackerel,” the blessed fish! DC, Pastor Mandy, and Simon Howes (our VBS song leader) all agreed to kiss him as well to celebrate 400 children receiving clean water!
Looking ahead, August means Family Worship and we are doing a series that will explore how awesome and creative God is! Join us for worship in August and check out all the cool things we have in store. We will also be Blessing the Backpacks on August 25. Regular Sunday programming returns on September 8 for elementary aged children and in October, our Fall Festival will return with Trunk or Treat and other family-friendly activities for all ages!
I hope that you are having a wonderful, restful summer. Don’t forget to pin the places you have traveled to and read scripture on our map!
Looking forward to seeing you soon!
Peace,
Ms. Julie
