John and Linda Ford’s Life Group signed up to volunteer at Crossroads for the Feed My Starving children Foundation project. It was an amazing experience. To get the history of Haiti and the devastation from the earthquake was eye opening. It makes you realize that what you have, if little or much, is more than what is needed to survive. God blesses us in order for us to give back to those in need. We are required, by the love of Christ and the freedom in our salvation, to give if it is given to us!
Oh and the head gear was a real hit!! At least we all looked silly and none were singled out!!:)
Ann & Bob Gries’ Life Group found a woman aged 70 who had a storage barn that was falling apart and needed repairs. She has limited income and couldn’t afford the repairs. So, their group paid for the repairs, cleaned things up, organized and bought an extra storage container.

Emily Ryan took her passion and gift from God “running long distance” outside the church walls to spear head a monthly event Pace with Purpose. The plan for Pace with Purpose was to put on a fun run once a month and collect donations from the participants for a worthy cause. Pace with Purpose has been meeting monthly since April to raise money for non-profit organizations focusing primarily on groups that support children.
This weekend, Saturday, August 22nd, Pace with a Purpose will have their last monthly meeting at Wesselman Park at 8:00 a.m. It is a fun 3 mile walk/run that can be made shorter or longer if desired. Families and strollers are welcome! All donations will go to the Vanderburgh County Boys and Girls Club. Checks can be made out to The Boys and Girls Club or Pace with Purpose.
One of their events collected diapers for the Evansville Christian Life Center. Another event drew only 11 participants, but raised $600 for the Court Appointed Special Advocated (CASA) program.
Their fall project will raise money for a family in need at Bethel Temple. Please visit their blogsite for more information (first post addresses our cause).
