Harvest Community Church Outreach

This past Friday was our last meeting for the summer with the Harvest Community outreach. 
The children and I thoroughly enjoyed our time working with Carolyn Harrell & her children with an outreach to a Hispanic community near their church.  While the Moms were learning "English as a Second Language" we had the opportunity to work with their children.  For about 8 Fridays this summer we had the blessing to play games, make crafts, eat a snack, and teach a Bible story to a wonderful group of children.  Their smiles and eagerness to learn really touched our hearts.

Amy, Carolyn's daughter, taught the kids' the Gospel message through helping them make a bracelet.  Mike, Carolyn's oldest son, and Greyson gave their testimonies.

           The children were great listeners and enjoyed making the bracelets.

                                     I'm going to miss these smiles!

Black is to represent our sins.  Red is to represent Jesus' blood shed to wash away our sins.  White represents us after we trust and believe in Jesus' sacrifice for us.  He has washed us white as snow.  Yellow represents Heaven.  Once we die on this earth we will then spend eternity with our Savior in Heaven!  Green represents growth.  Once we become "saved" we need to read His Word, talk with Him (prayer), and tell others about Jesus' love.

Each week the children received points for checking out books, reading them, and bringing them back.  They also received points for memorizing and saying their Bible verse to us.  At our last meeting, the children were able to spend the points at the store.  They had a great time shopping! :)
