A Word From The Coordinator
|
Blessings are coming.
Sometimes we look for blessings to come as waves into our lives. Maybe God works this way, but maybe He has another plan. He may steadily Drip, Drip, Drip daily so casually we barely even notice until we step back and see His mighty hand at work. He will never leave us nor forsake us. He wants the best for His children. When we cry out to Him, our heavenly Father wishes to give good things to those who ask. (Matthew 7:11)

For October PSP we will meet at the City Park. I saw recently that they will be redoing the splash pad at the City Park, so I will check before any days we are scheduled to be there and make sure that it is a good location. I will do my best to make everyone aware if we need to change locations.

I’m looking forward to a fun year of hanging out with everyone at the PSP events!— Allison Hoke

The Summer Volunteer Club will be meeting for the last time this summer on August 1st and August 8th. You can see the full details on the calendar. We've had a wonderful time this summer working with River Vally Food For Kids and supporting our community. Don't miss this last chance even if you haven't attended the other meetings you are welcome to come. A big thank you to all the teens and parents that gave of themselves this summer. The food bank said they were very grateful for all the help! If there is interest in continuing the Volunteer Club in the Fall Semester I would be willing to host it again. This would only be held once a month (instead of twice like the summer club). We might even explore other ways to volunteer if there is enough interest. If you would be interested in the club continuing this fall text Keri Bucci at 479-518-2971 or email me at buccihomeschool@yahoo.com.
