September 2017 Newsletter
Dear Friends,
Thanks to so many of you who have responded to our fundraising request! We are starting to gain momentum in several areas:
- Planning for 2018 Created for a Purpose mission trips in Birmingham, other areas of the country, and internationally
- Connecting with churches that are good candidates for hosting Created for a Purpose
- Creating an intern program for the summer of 2018
- Talking with candidates to work with us on expanding the ministry
Your generosity will make these and other things possible as we step out in faith to share the gospel with 3rd-8th grade girls. If you would like to donate please click here.
Believe it or not, it is time to register for the Christmas Workshop being held at Covenant Presbyterian in Birmingham! Camp is on Friday, December 15 for 6th-8th grade girls from 5:00-9:00 pm and on Saturday, December 16 for 3rd-5th grade girls from 10:00-2:00 pm. Registration opens Tuesday, September 12 at 9:00 am. Please click here to register.
As you and your families settle into the routine of school, I pray that you would not be overwhelmed with the many things that "need" to be accomplished. Yes, you have to do laundry and cook meals and run carpool and offer some semblance of order in your home. You have to help those children who need a little extra help with school work and staying organized. You are probably juggling practice schedules and tossing fast food over your shoulder as you drive some nights. I pray you will take a deep breath and slow down. Listen to your favorite Christian music, praise God, thank him, confess, and repent of your sins; read, study, and meditate on his word; pray alone, pray as a family, and worship as a family. Be in church with God's people to receive the word and the sacraments with your brothers and sisters. We would love to see you at Covenant if you do not have a church home. We meet for worship at 9:00 on Sunday mornings. You are always welcome. www.covpres.com
Again, many thanks for your support of Created for a Purpose, both prayerfully and financially.
Blessings,
Ingram Link, Director of Created for a Purpose
