More faces of Urban Hope

Christy is one of our faithful nursery helpers each month. She is also the mother of two little boys, Samuel and Micah. Christy is awesome at balancing family, friends, work, and ministry and is so generous and hospitable. Christy and the boys have taken turns being sick over the past week or so. Please pray that God would protect them (and Jason, too) from sickness. There have been a lot of colds going around recently, so pray that our church would trust God's protection, provision, and healing.
Cornerstone has become a big program at our church, as of last week. We setting it up like an afterschool program on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 3:45 to 5:45 pm. We pick kids up and they have a snack, play games, have Bible time, homework help, and can choose from electives like shop, art, cooking, or Bible quizzing. Kelly, is the leader of the homework helping section and also a lot more. I have often found her in the office making copies of math worksheets, cleaning out cabinets and closets in the church, and buying things for the Cornerstone store in the past couple of weeks. The kids earn dollars for doing certain things during Cornerstone or get them taken away if they are not acting appropriately and then get to buy things at the store. Please pray that God would be the one in charge of Cornerstone. What a praise to have so many helpers like Kelly who love Jesus, these kids, and serving the church with the talents He's given them.
