Good Cheer is blessed with the support that we receive and many times that support is coming directly from our young people. If you haven’t noticed; young people are getting involved. This seems to be a generational change that is spreading and bodes well for the future.
The Vacation Bible School had their annual event at the CMA church a couple of weeks back. Tina Hinojos and Kristie Chapman were the directors of the Vacation Bible School and Pastor Mike Berry was on hand for all the good fun.
The vacation school is held every year and is free. One hundred and fifty kids attended this year’s event and there were about 60 adult helpers, the church was a busy and happening place. There were games, crafts, music and bible lessons. Who would have known that this was a church, the surf theme was very real and fun!
While there was a surfing theme their “give it back” was collecting cans and non-perishable food items for the Good Cheer Food Bank. Last year they collected peanut butter and tuna for the food bank and this year it was about building a sand castle of food.
The goal was to build a sand castle of food as tall as their youth Pastor Mike Berry. If they succeeded, which they did, Pastor Mike would eat a mystery can of food on stage, the mystery can was fruit cocktail and garbanzo beans.
The actions of a few can change the world. It all begins with small steps; random acts of kindness and focused attempts to help one another.
Perhaps one can at a time!
Thanks Kids!
Good Cheer!
