FAST NEWS FEED ABOUT MARCH BREAK 2011

• Leaders & Helpers: A HUGE thank you to all the leaders who helped with the Reptile Party. We had planners, people who purchased items ahead of time, leaders throughout the day, people who came to serve dinner, some who made food, and others who cleaned up. There was such high participation for this March Break and it was so awesome.


• Spiritual Opportunities: The opportunity to reaffirm the truth that God is the Creator and Jesus wants to be our Forever Friend was awesome. This March Break opened a lot of opportunities to connect with children and families and have spiritual influence in their lives. Pray as we follow up


• Turn On The Tap Donations: A little over $500 came in for TOTT. Registration was by donation this year for our March Break outreach program. So thankful to all who contributed.


• Snake Cake: Crista from The Urban Cakery donated a huge snack cake that was beautifully decorated. Thanks so much for your help. It was a huge hit!


• Momstown: A big "Thank You" goes out to Momstown for sending out an email to the people in their network. It really helped with registration!
