This summer, our children hope to raise money to send "living water" to our brothers and sisters in Christ living in Malawi, Africa. Funds will go to provide a shallow water well and Bibles translated into Chitumbuka (one of the main languages spoken in rural Malawi).

Our goal is to raise at least $600 ($300 for the shallow well/$300 for Bibles).

To do that, we will have a series of mission fund raising projects, one for each summer month.

June – On June 4, Pentecost Sunday, the children distributed bottled water to all in attendance. (If you were unable to be with us, we still have bottles left! They can be found at the well in the Hall of Crosses.) After enjoying the water, mission partners are encouraged to use the bottles as banks, collecting loose change (or dollar bills!) through out the summer. Banks can be returned later in the summer.

July – We would like to have a "Swim-a-thon" (which works like the heart Association’s "Jump Rope for Heart" with which many of our children are familiar). The children recruit sponsors (who are willing to pledge a set rate of their choosing), participate in the swim-a-thon and then collect their pledges. This could be a great fellowship time, in addition to supporting mission in our church!

August – We are scheduled with Quick Trip to have a car wash at their 95^th and Riverside store on Saturday, August 5! We bring the buckets, soap and towels, QT supplies the water. All proceeds go to our mission effort! We have use of their property from 10 AM – 3 PM.

Please read through the following, check off the ways you will be able to help, tear off the form and place it in the offering plate or drop it by the church office.
