News...
We have accomplished many things in January.
We have knocked out the wall in the Faith Kidz room connecting to the Carpenter's Shop. The Faith Kidz would like
to give a huge THANK YOU to the people who helped knock out the wall. We can't wait to be spread out and not be
on top of each other in the Faith Kidz room Several nights we've been hanging out in the hallway because there wasn't
enough room for all of us. So, we really appreciate all the people who gave up their Saturday to come help us.
We are going to go to the Fernbank Museum in Atlanta in February.
We helped the soldiers in the Air Force by
sending them coffee mugs, chapstick, baby wipes, snacks, etc. We've gotten several e-mails from them through Mrs.
Katy and they said everybody really appreciated everything that was sent, especially the prayers. Thank you to everyone
who donated things to send to the people serving in the Air Force to defend our country. This is going to be our ongoing
mission this year. We will continue to send care packages throughout the year. The red bin will remain in the
Fellowship Hall to put donation in.
Thank you,
John Mark Jones
Faith Kidz On-Going Mission...
Miss Katy's brother-in-law,
Patrick Shirley, is deploying to Afghanistan with the USAF for a period of 6-18 months. The Faith Kidz have decided to start
an on-going mission to send letters, cards, and care packages to Patrick and his unit to remind them of home and to encourage
them while they are away from their families serving our country.
From Airman Msgt Patrick Shirley via email to
Katy Manley:
"The unit LOVED everything we sent. Our sponsored Airman, Msgt Patrick
Shirley put the hot hands, coffee mugs, snacks, and Chapstick on the "community" table and when he went back by
a couple of hours later the guys (& girls) had all grabbed what they needed. The temperatures at night have been around
-5 degrees, so anything that helps keep them warm is fantastic!
He said they were all extemely grateful
for our thoughtfulness and wanted us to know how much it means to him that we're thinking of and praying for them. Nothing
we send will go to waste and every single thing is much appreciated."
