I am coming to you with a thankful heart. I am so grateful for my team who supports me financially and through prayer, my team on the field with me, and the team of people that are a part of Hope Fellowship. Lately I have been overwhelmed with the needs of the community and I felt like I do not have enough hands to hold all the people that want to feel loved. On Monday we had 55 kids at our Halloween kids club. Last night at Bible study we had 95 people. During both occasions I felt like there were not enough hands to hold all the people that needed attention and love. I am reminded that the Lord takes our small offering and he multiplies it to be enough, just like the small boy who brought this lunch to Jesus. The Lord multiplied it to feed thousands of people. I see this happening through the whole team of people who are a part of Sacred Road's story. I also am reminded that the Lord knows the needs of each child, youth and adult here in White Swan, and not one of them is forgotten.
We are now in the middle of our third fall of youth ministry. I love the fall. I know that the youth look forward to a lot of the fun things we do in the fall. We started off the fall with a trip to the Yakima State Fair with our discipleship groups. Most of the night was spent on the rides. It is a good thing I am not afraid of heights or mind going upside down. We also have enjoyed going to White Swan High School football games. Also, a lot of our youth girls played volleyball this fall. It was fun to have a fan section for our youth, when no family came to watch them play. One other tradition that the youth girls also enjoy in the fall is our pumpkin carving day. This year we had nine girls carving pumpkins. To read more about it visit my blog heathergerman.blogspot.
One last highlight for the fall is the Corn Maze, which we are still anticipating. Tomorrow, Thursday, October 27, we will take about 35 youth to a giant corn maze where we will roast hot dogs and s'mores and then try and get lost in the maze. The youth look forward to this event all year. If you would like to sponsor this event or any of our youth events you can donate on our website .
We are also looking forward to, and have started planning for our Christmas ministry. There are six different ways to be a part of the Christmas ministry:
If you would like to more about how you can be involved in Christmas feel free to email me.
Prayer requests and praises:
1. Pray for the event tomorrow night at the corn maze with our youth group. Pray that everyone would be safe and enjoy the time together.
2. Praise that we have had so many people coming to Bible study. Pray for our staff as we can serve and love everyone that is coming.
Thank you for all of your prayers.
Love, in Christ,
Heather
