The mission…if you decide to accept is... Operation His Heart,Our Hands

 Jesus speaks many times through His Word about the importance of children.  He uses children and the example of their faith to show us how faith really works.  So simple...yet so powerful.  This will be the 3rd year that  College Park will be ministering at Cerbat School.  As many of you know….the school is in our neighborhood.  Cerbat has an enrollment of about 630 - 670 children.  It is a Title 1 school with a  65-78% poverty level.  In our own church family we have a number of people who work at the school and they see the needs are first hand.   The Mission Team has met and come up with a list to help not only the students...but also the teachers (This year we will NOT be collecting backpacks as there was a large donation made last year and in speaking with Clink Keller at the school, they still have a number of backpacks).  The list is as follows: 

School Supplies -  markers, crayons, pencils, notebooks, paper, rulers, glue, glue sticks, colored pencils, etc.  -  Lice Treatment – GENERIC works the best  -  Shoes – preferably new.  -  Paper  -  reams of white (for teachers)  -  Construction Paper   - Uniform T shirts (we will be buying vouchers for the students).

 School supplies this year appear to have doubled...but you can find some deals out there.  One of our ladies found shoes for $1 and brought in 13 pair!!!  So keep your eyes open...and know that each item you bring in makes a BIG - BIG- BIG difference.  Also...as a note, we will again be helping children within our own church family with the supplies that are brought in.  We know that there are many of our families right now that have needs.

 If you have any questions...please contact a Mission Team Member— Bill DeWitt, Ben and Sara Alexander, Pat Linson, Kimberly Felton, or Barbara Cronkright.  Thank you so very much for your participation in this.
