Chamber Update: May and June were two very busy months. In May we finished “the chamber” for the school year. Our last meeting was a pool party at my parent’s house, and about 20 students came and had a blast. We also finished PTO, which is our Tuesday morning Bible study at Deckerville High School.
On June 26th Chamber Ministries hosted the second annual 5k run/walk in Sandusky. It is a great fundraiser that is a huge benefit to our general fund expenses. There were about 80 participants including the “Fun Run,” which is just for kids. This is also great exposure for Chamber Ministries to the community. Being a part of Sandusky’s annual Thumb Festival allowed us also to meet many new people.
Support: Recently, we received two awesome blessings. We applied for a grant from the Sanilac County Foundation Committee and the Youth Advisory Council, and we were awarded $1,000 for a new projector and a gaming system for “the chamber” youth center. We also were given a new laptop computer! These gifts will be a great asset for the continual ministry at the Youth Center. Thank you so much to all who have given!
Ministry Needs: Our ministry van is in need of air conditioning repair. We have had an estimate done and it will cost approximately $800.00 to get fixed. We are planning some trips this summer, and a 15 passenger van full of teenagers with no air conditioning makes for a long trip. Please pray that we will get the funds to fix it.
Please pray for these up coming activities:
• July 14th - Cedar Point trip
• July 17th, 31st, August 21st – Paintball weekends
• August 7th - Youth Center open house at Deckerville homecoming
• August 7th - Paintball booth at Deckerville homecoming
• October 2nd, 9th – Corn mazes
Family news:
We recently went on a much needed family vacation to Ocean Grove, NJ. It was a lot of fun swimming in the ocean and walking on the board walk. While there we went to New York City with our two oldest kids and we had a blast! Kristi’s parents vacationed with us, and we enjoyed spending time with them.
