This month with 1st-5th graders we are talking about cooperation: working together to do more than you can do alone. Your child is taking home a wrist band today that will remind him of our Big Idea for the month of November and our ministry project – Bed Nets for Life. When we heard about the project Covenant Work Relief is doing to protect children from malaria in the Congo, we knew we wanted to be involved! No one person can supply mosquito nets to all the children in the world who need them – it’s an undoable task! So this month we are going to work together with children and churches all over the country to raise money to purchase as many nets as we can for children. The cost is $10 a net. For more information go to www.covchurch.org/cwr
We are asking you to help your children come up with ideas about how they can raise money to be a part of giving back to others. Maybe you can brainstorm ways the entire family can help. Anything you come up with together will make an impression on your child and can help him or her understand that God wants us to work together – because sometime He wants to do something big and miraculous through all of us.
Our goal as a group is to raise $800 over the next 6 weeks. This will purchase 80 nets for Covenant World Relief to distribute to child in mosquito-infested areas of the Congo where malaria is rampant.
We appreciate all of your support! Please contact us if you have any questions.
