Today both girls hosted movie showings for Haiti. Annah's was this morning at 9am. We hadn't asked for an RSVP, so didn't know how many to expect. Annah had two great kids come to watch Charlotte's Web with us. They gave so generously that the money in her envelope for Haiti was quadrupled!!
Since Annah only had 2 guests, the 3 of them were able to play a little Wii after the movie was over. They had some fun Mario Kart races. Who knew video games could be used for minstry?!
While the kids were playing, we got to chat more with these kids' moms--one we've known for a few years, and one we'd never met. It's such a blessing to connect with and get to know people in our community!
This afternoont at 2pm, Sylvia hosted her showing of Wizard of Oz.
She had 4 of her classmates attend--3 of her close girlie friends, and one little boy who quickly made buddies with Caeden. They were a fun bunch, and enjoyed lots of the brownies, kool-aid, fruit and popcorn we served! (See the popcorn on the floor?) They watched most of the movie, but also had fun joking around with each other. And, God bless them...they gave so generously; they more than doubled the large amount in Sylvia's envelope for Haiti!
They asked Sylvia to play her violin for them while they waited for their parents to pick them up.
What a wonderful day it was! We were blessed having these kids in our home, and God definitely blessed their giving and increased the offering that will be given to Haiti! Thank you Lord!

I am so glad that the girls movie events went well, and I feel just AWEFUL for Caeden! That whole church and state thing can be so misinterpreted! I wish I could think of something he could do! Could he sell cups of Kool-Aid after church in that gathering area or something?
You tell Caeden that the boys heard about what happened and pesonally decided to mail him a donation. They say the next time you all are in the area he owes them a movie and some popcorn!
God bless you and your entire church family for what you are doing!
