Beginning August 11, Wishing Well’s* will be in the CWC and Sanctuary, with pictures of the two mission families, the Houle’s and the Hadden’s. The Wishing Well is placed to give a visible reminder to drop in extra change and dollars to be combined with fundraising to meet our commitment of $ 1,200. a year to each ministry. Your giving makes a difference in this “above and beyond our regular giving” commitment to these families.
We don’t WISH we could, we know we CAN with your generous support!

OUTREACH / MISSIONARIES
The Ad Council recently approved a plan to support Allie and David Houles who have committed to a five-year term at Blessing Home in Pattaya in Thailand. Allie is the daughter of Jerri and Mickey Statham and attended Cokes Chapel as a child; and Amanda and Matt Hadden and family who are currently serving the Oglala Lakota people in South Dakota. Amanda is the granddaughter of Sandy and Pete Cavender.
Since funding for this is not a budgeted expense, Outreach/Mission has plans for some fundraising events to raise the pledged amount. Outreach is hosting a dinner/silent auction on Aug. 11th to kick-off funding the Houles’ and Hadden’s.
Pray now, for them, for us, as we begin our fundraising to support them. Questions? Contact Betsy Bagley: ebbagley@gmail.com.
