This Week in Kidmo!
| Sunday, June 28
Week #1 - Discover: Acts 2:22-41
Discovering who Jesus isSUMMER SLAM
Blast into summer vacation KIDMO style with SUMMER SLAM I! Its DIGGING UP FACTS from the Book of Acts and Johnny Rogers' partner in truth is his pal Brett Humphrey, also known as Pastor H.
Pastor H leads us full speed into an archeological adventure of
Biblical proportion. We'll explore 5 D-Liscious D-lights from the word
of God: DISCOVERING who Jesus is, Following God's DIRECTION, DIGGING into Truth, DISPLAYING Jesus everyday, and Recognizing God's DESIGN for Your Life.
All this and a pool party, too! Grab your metal detector and join Beach Comber Bert
and his surfside friends in the quest for treasure. It's sure to be an
explosive experience! So put on your sunscreen and let's head for the
desert!

 | How's It Going?
| Over the last few weeks I've asked you to do a couple things and I'd like to hear from you on how it's going. The two things in particular I'm interested in is: - The, "God, let me see what You see" challenge. What has God shown you?
- How is God calling you to be a missionary in Allegan or elsewhere?
Please email me or talk to me on Sunday and let me know what God is saying to you. __________________________ |

 | A Message from Tami Plont
Seeds of Grace

Hi Roger,
We sure got a lot done this week. I am amazed at the amount of energy a room full of kids has. (She's talking about our kids at Tent City) I enjoyed having them and appreciate the amount of work that was accomplished.
I was not quite prepared for all of them, but we made due and had fun. I seems so quiet there by myself. The waiting area is coming together very nicely, most of the tear out and trash removal is done.
I will be working there weekdays 10-4 and weekends occasionally. I will let you know of special events.
Next weeks build is decking and ramps, putting up fake beams, making a few barn doors and cutting out 7 foot saw blades.
Thanks to everyone that helped, the maze is taking shape and the sawmill is looking more like a sawmill everyday. Thanks to all the demolition kids, the dumpster girls, the painters and the builders. They took ownership of their jobs and really stayed on task. I will take pictures to update and send them next week.
Always looking for volunteers, please keep in touch.
Thanks again,
Tami

| Grocery Drive
June 28 & July 5
| 
We have a few families that could use a little help with groceries this month.
So, we are going to be collecting food for the next 2 weeks to help them out.
We're looking for non-perishable food (good stuff no lima beans or canned spinach). We'll have a side table set up to put the stuff you bring in on. We'll distribute the food after July 5.
Thanks everyone!
