WE MADE IT!!!

We made it through the 30-Hour Famine!!! The kids were fantastic. Besides the occassional "I'm hungry," they hardly complained. We are so proud of them for participating in this event. A special thanks to Preacher Doug, Sandy, Yancy, and Cathy who prepared the "break-fast" meal. Then they started cooking around 10 pm and the smell of the food was almost overwhelming.

The most touching moment of the weekend was during our 7 pm worship service on Saturday. They told what they were thankful for. Then I would have to say the most memorable part was the honesty and truth that came out towards the end of the famine. Around 10:45, the group had an opportunity to tell what they learned this weekend. Not only were they watching the clock, but I feel they were being honest. Needless to say, Maranda, Tracie, and I are very proud of these guys. They stood up to the challenge and conquered it!

With God's help, they raised over $1,100 to help fight world hunger. That will feed 3 starving kids for an entire year.
