The Christmas Village is an organization in Canton that helps young women with unplanned pregnancies (parenting/adoption). Their website is http://www.thechristmasvillage.org/ for more info. Our church has partnered with them to help host the girl's graduation parties when they complete the program. The first girl has finished and will be graduating on May 13th. Since this is the first, we really need a good showing from our church! Ladies, we may not be able to cut logs with chainsaws after a storm...but this is an area of ministry where we can help. It will probably be just about an hour commitment. But what a difference it can make in the life of one person. So, here is how you can get involved. Show up on May 13th! :) The ministry of your presence. She has chosen to parent her child, so we will also be buying gifts for the baby (it's a girl). If you have other commitments on that night, you could send a gift with me or someone else who will be attending. Please see me, Dina Ray, or Lisa Lucas if you are interested. You will hear more about this at the women's event on Thursday also. Thanks!
Another date for your calendar....May 30th. This is the night CHBC goes to the Ballpark! Church-wide game night to see the MBraves. Last year we had a BLAST and I'm looking forward to this game also. Hope your family can attend. Tickets go on sale May 4th.

We are continuing to collect money to send a kid to camp. The cost is $250 and we have collected $100 as a class. Great job so far! Also, I'd like to say a big THANK YOU to all who contributed money for Micca Knox's gift card. We collected $100 for her. Awesome!

prayer requests/praises from Sunday:
Lindsay Cress got a job at Fellowship Church in TX. Hooray!
Ryan Garrett asked Jesus to be his Savior! Hooray!
Tonya's sister (Shirley) going through chemo
family of Patsy Castle
One thing that has stuck with me from Sunday is that we have 2 ears and one mouth. So, lets make an effort this week to listen twice as much as we talk. (easier said than done).
Have a great week!

Julie,
Thanks for keeping me updated on what is going on in Lifegroup! Please also let everyone know that Suzanne and Kyle (my friends in Africa that the class prayed for last year) are expecting a second baby girl in June and would appreciate your prayers again.
Thanks
