Love

As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit -- fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. This is my command: Love each other. (John 15:9-17).

 

We now have 100 of these beautiful posters at the school to advertise our Christmas Fair. Please take a minute to review the poster and consider helping with the distribution of the posters. We need to spread the posters around our market area at businesses, grocery stores, cleaners - anywhere that lots of eyes will see. Thank you for all your contributions towards making this event a great success for the school.

Let’s Go Krogering!

I am writing to let you all know that we had a great success with the Applebee's fundraiser. I want to thank everyone who sold tickets, donated money, and donated their time and effort to make this a special event. I especially want to thank those who helped serve the breakfast Saturday morning: Kellan Locklin Kathy Haynes Katy Haynes Rosemarie Tamminen Christie Hudnall Kaylee Ruth Hall Jennifer Moles Mark Bordwine Tara Breeden If I happened to leave out anyone I ask for forgiveness. It was a fast paced morning but a fun one. We had a total of 284 people at the breakfast and took in a total of $2502.88. Not bad for serving pancakes for two hours! We do have some expenses that have yet to be taken out. I am estimating a total of $600.00 for expenses. These expenses include the cost of food and supplies to be reimbursed back to Applebee's, cost of printing the tickets, and a love offering to the four Applebee's employees that helped us. If everyone was able to see the amount of food and supplies we went through you would be amazed. Applebee's ran out of sausage, started serving bacon, went and got more sausage, ran out of sausage again, and started serving bacon again. Also I want to thank the Applebee's employees that made this a success. The two cooks in the kitchen were amazing to watch. I also want you to know the four employees donated their time to help out. Applebee's did not pay them. This is why, myself and the members of the board, felt that we needed to give them a small love offering. Also, I do recommend that if you get the chance to go out and eat, to choose Applebee's. John Clark, the general manager, was a great support and help and sees this as a strong relationship that we can do this on an annual basis. Thanks again for your help, your time, and your prayers. Most of all we thank God for His blessing on this event.
