Week of Compassoin On August 8, in Lahaina, Hawaii, a wildfire began to spread. The fire has left many people homeless, and without basic needs. Week of Compassion has partnered with Children's Disaster Services who will be sending volunteers to help build shelters and offer childcare to the impacted families. Week Of Compassion is responding and are seeking donations to help the families affected by this disaster. By clicking the link below, you can make a donation of your choosing that will directly help those in Hawaii. Board meeting is Wednesday, August 16 at 6:00pm in Fellowship Hall. Begins September 10, 9:00am! Our first story will be "Jesus and the Children." We plan to explore the story through art, games, science, cooking, and missions. This will be a class for all elementary-age children. We are looking for helpers and teachers. The curriculum is very easy to teach and there are multiple activities to choose from each week. If you are interested in growing our children's program and can help us, please notify the office, Allison Seigars, Sonya Waldrip, or Martha O'Banion.
