Girls Gone Wild with Praises!!

Thanks Reagan and Karley for the artistic words of praise to our Lord left on a board in a classroom in our children's wing. If only our lives were that filled with uplifting words of praises...the picture of our world would be so different. Keep spreading His love! However, don't forget to erase the board before the ink becomes permanent, ok? Cheerios!

A Shout Out to Ms. Emily Bales!

Last week Ms Emily Bales had her photo and an interview included in the Lake Norman News when the AngelCare Parent's Night Out program was highlighted and her leadership in it. AngelCare is a local program sponsored by Parks & Rec and Cornelius PARC where a free night of babysitting is offered monthly for up to 3 hours to special-needs children and their siblings. Their recent January night had a Pajama Party theme and Emily is seen here doing what she does best...caring!! To God be the Glory!

High School Puerto Rico Mission - July 20-27

On July 21-27 a mission team of high school students and adults will fly to Puerto Rico for a week of missions. I say "fly" because one of our youth thought we were driving there. Please offer your support by adding them to your regular prayer time as they begin making preparations, finding funding, and training for God's work ahead. Lift up the "Praying Pelican Mission" group that will be in Puerto Rico throughout the month of February establishing relationships with the people, churches and local organizations and developing this experience for our students.
Here is your P.R. Mission Team:
Ana Hererra
Sarah Tatum
Amanda Rivera
Jessika Dorcas
Mac Ingland
Caroline Fullen
Annie Tsumas

CHRISTMAS FUN WITH THE YOUTH!!

What a fun night out it was with the youth at the "Ugly Sweater Christmas Party" this past Friday. The hideous sweaters brought quite a stir in downtown Charlotte while ice skating at the NASCAR Hall of Fame. Around fifty students joined us with only twelve or so daring enough to make a fashion statement. Jesse Meckola took home the "Hot Sauce" prize for his daring fashion taste and runway confidence. Kudos!!

A Special Thanks goes out to all our chaperons and party designers: Kathy, Ileana, Karen W., Karen H., Cindy, Jeff, Joel and guy in pink. Also thanks to the parents and youth for all the food and underwear donations. They were delicious...not the underwear. Merry Christmas...and remember to pass those sweaters on to a very special loved one. (:

Praise God for the work our team is doing in Haiti right now building desks, building relationships, building up the Kingdom of God. Continue to pray for success in their mission and safety as the return home tomorrow.

Praying for Haiti Mission Team

This Thursday morning shortly after 3:00am this crew of seven gathered in the church parking lot and headed for the airport to begin their mission journey in Haiti. They'll return next Thursday evening after using their carpentry, teaching and relationship building skills to help make God's love known. Let up remember to pray for their safety and success in their mission.
