Chamber Update: Summer is nearly over, which means fall, football, and holidays, but it also means a very busy schedule, especially for Chamber Ministries.
During the months of July and August, we had our cedar point trip, paintball weekends and paintball tournament. As usual, Cedar Point was a blast. Fifteen of us, 12 students and 3 adults, left for Cedar Point before the sun came up and got back in the wee hours of the next morning. The exhaustion was totally worth it!
Paintball was a success this summer. This year during the Deckerville homecoming we held a paintball tournament at Wilson Park. There were 5 teams and everyone that participated got to play an enormous amount of paintball. A father/son team won, they were called “Little Big D.”
We have started a prayer meeting every Sunday for the leaders. We are praying for the direction Chamber Ministries. We are looking at changing some aspects of what we do in order to reach the most people with the message of the Gospel. Please pray for the vision of our leaders and that above all we would seek God’s will.
Support: We are really in need of some more monthly support. Rick is still working separate jobs to make ends meet, and we still aren’t fully funded for the Youth Center and our activities. God has called us to this ministry and he is faithful. We do, however, need your prayers and monthly gifts. Please pray and see if God is calling you to sacrifice for this ministry He has called us to do.
Ministry Needs: It is awesome to see God provide for Chamber Ministries! The air conditioning in our van had quit working and someone donated the money to get it fixed. Thank you so much!
Please pray for these up coming activities:
• September 14th - PTO starts (every Tuesday)
• September 17th and October 8th – after game party
• September 22nd - Chamber Spotlight starts (every Wednesday)
• October 2nd and 9th - Corn maze
