Offering ~ The children are so excited to be part of the “Noisy Offering”. They are joyful givers and have BIG ideas and plans to help others in need around the world. We have decided to start out buying a Beehive in Tanzania. Raising bees not only provides a family with income but also improves plant pollination throughout a whole community. Our gift of a Beehive produces delicious honey for a family to eat and sell to purchase basic necessities like soap, medicine and shoes as well as contributing to the success of gardens and farms in the area. The cost of a beehive is $30. With your help we think we have already purchased this! Thank you church family! Next we will work towards raising money to send a Literacy Book Set to Honduras. Let’s keep giving “joyfully” together!
Released Time for Hamilton Elementary is in need of small group leaders. They have about 200 Hamilton Elementary students, 1st – 4th graders, signed-up.

Let us work together to share the Good News with our community!
