This past Sunday, it was warm and rainy, but the Kids Care Club at Messiah weren’t thwarted! They set up inside Disciple Hall (amongst the construction) and made real lemonade to raise money for the new playground to be used by the church, the community, and the Lighthouse Daycare Ministry.
Most of the kids working on the project were under the age of 10 and they worked hard! They squeezed lemons, mixed ice, and cheerfully served drinks to thirsty parishoners. Their goal was to raise $400 which was the amount Thrivent pledged to match. Instead, they raised just over $570!! After Thrivent’s match, the work will add $970 to the playground fund!
At Messiah, our Kids truly do care! Thanks to the Congregation for their support!
See the kids at work here!
Way to go, Caring Kids! I’m so proud of you and am glad to be a part of a congregation that loves nurturing children!
