"OUR TIME IN HAITI"...


Our time in Haiti was definitely memorable and humbling. It was wonderful to minister to the many needy children and families, both in the orphanage and in the village of LaVaud itself. During the week we helped to paint the orphanage, haul rocks and gravel for an outside floor, and get the generator up and running... they now have both running water AND electricity!! Something unheard of in this village! We also enjoyed many hours playing with the kids of the orphanage and village, fitting new shoes, handing out games and supplies to the orphanage, and going to the crusade each night! It was amazing to see many of them happy and content when living with so little. And it was great to worship OUR Lord and Savior right next to them!
CLICK HERE for few snapshots of our time in Haiti. If you get a chance to chat with our team (Ray LaBatte, Scott Morton, Laurie Decker, Kathy Heinzelman), I know they will have a lot more to share with you. Thanks for your encouragement and support.

"COLLECTING FOR H20"...our kids finished well!!
Three years ago we began a campaign to "Flood Dry Places". One of the outreach initiaves of the campaign included helping to build an orphanage in LaVaud, Haiti for children whose parents had died from aids. Quarterly we have been collecting pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters and dollars in our water bottles.
Our kids have done great in collecting a total of $7,127.84!!
Their commitment, sacrifice and dedication to this initiative of our campaign has helped provide a safe "home" for many orphaned children in LaVaud, Haiti! Way to go kids, and to God be the glory!!

FAMILY WORSHIP DAYS CONTINUE... Parents of children in 3rd-5th grade please mark the following date on your calendar... SEPTEMBER 26th. Kids will be joining you in "big church" as they continue to learn to worship together as a church body. Thanks for modeling this important part of their spiritual growth! We love to see families worshipping together!



Watch your step — there’s construction ahead!

CZ is a place where children are challenged to build a strong spiritual foundation in a fun, innovative way!
