Our J2A Program is seeking two leaders to help Nicole Baxley and the kids as this exciting youth program expands next year! If you enjoy being around teenagers, like to have fun, and take seriously our collective obligation to raise our children in the faith - God may be calling you to work with this group. The time commitment is roughly two hours every Wednesday night during the school year, plus the occasional planning meeting. Please see Nicole, Chris or Mark for more information.
Thank you to all who supported the Sudanese Children's Education Fund fundraising event. We have raised nearly $2800. We will send four Sudanese Children to a full year of boarding school in Kenya. In additional, for each Sudanese child educated, two Kenyan orphans are given a year's education. This means we are supporting twelve children this year.

Millennium Development Goals
The MDGs represent a global partnership that has grown from the
commitments and targets established at the world summits of the 1990s. Responding to the world's
main development challenges and to the calls of civil society, the MDGs promote poverty reduction,
education, maternal health, gender equality, and aim at combating child mortality,
AIDS and other diseases.
