KIDS JUMPING FOR KIDS!!!


Kids Jumping for Kids! Your child at Kids' Connection can help make a difference in the lives of young children in Romania or Vietnam who have desperate physical needs! Hope Haven has requests for 750 wheelchairs for children in these countries and sponsorships are needed for these wheelchairs. You can sponsor a 'jumper' and provide mobility, freedom and an opportunity for a young child in need of a wheelchair.

Around the globe, God is answering children's prayers through the loving and generous actions of children like yours at Kids' Connection. The KC children will be jumping for other children on April 19 from 4:00-5:00. You simply sponsor your child with a $5.00 donation and encourage 9 other people to do the same. Your child will be able to donate one wheelchair!!

Every $50.00 donated will bring hope and opportunity through a wheelchair and make a difference in a child's life in various developing countries around the world. Together we can make a difference!!!

Look for information forms and sponsorship forms in April at the Kids' Connection check-in desk. Contact the church office at 712-737-4909 for more information.

Kids' Connection Tuesday, March 6 and beyond...

The Kids' Connection theme this month in March is FORGIVENESS...Our verse is "Create in me a clean heart, O God." Psalm 51:10. God will forgive us from the wrongs we've done if we ask Him. We also need to learn how to forgive others who have wronged us.

We are open tomorrow and Thursday!! Tomorrow at Kids' Connection we'll have a Scavenger Hunt for the children to enjoy! Also we'll be tracing our hands for hand bouquets.

On Tuesday, the 13th of March, Marlowe Van Ginkel will be joining us from Hope Haven Wheelchair ministries. The children at Kids' Connection will be designing coin labyrinths and decorating big boxes to gather pop cans as fundraisers for the wheelchair ministry. Look for the labyrinths to deposit spare change and the pop can boxes to deposit empty pop cans! Thanks!!

BINGO and a skit performed by some of the 5th graders happens on the 20th. Shuffleboard with Jay, Lisa Laird and her puppets, and a celebration of March birthdays happens on the 22nd.

Join us!!!
