There were 29 delegates registered

at the Children’s Convention.

Eighteen were online delegates

and 11 registered on-site.

The Children’s Convention was

almost to capacity this year. In

keeping with the theme we chal-

lenged the children in every possi-

ble way. There were eight “Minute

to Win It” challenges, a “Foods of

the Bible” challenge, and the “Stir

the Pie” cooking contest was the

final challenge.

Every opportunity was taken for

ministry. Bad behavior, was an

opportunity for ministry. Low self

-esteem, we stopped to minister.

Overly enthusiastic play, was

stopped and ministered. Bad

housekeeping became ministry

also. Sis. Sylvia Riddick was

again a most capable coordina-

tor in charge. She also had Sis.

Nedra Moore (N) and Sis. Lisa

Willis (SC) to come in to as-

sist. Youth helpers were Bri-

anna McClendon and Keanna

McClendon (SC). Matthew

19:30 was the theme verse for

this event.

Others that assisted were Sis-

ters Valetta Ross (N), Shirlee

Dunbar (E) and Genevieve

McInnis (N).

It was another exciting Chil-

dren’s Convention and we look

forward to seeing each other

again next year.

And the Winners Are!

On Thursday, July 21, 2016 two

groups of 12 participated in the

Community Service Event at the

Ronald McDonald House. It

was a very rewarding experi-

ence. Group A arrived at 6:00

a.m. to prepare breakfast for the

residents. The menu included:

eggs, sausage, bacon, pancakes,

hash browns and fruit. Group B

arrived at 8:00 a.m. to prepare

baked sweets for the residents

that included: cookies, muffins

and brownies.

We thank Sis. Valetta Ross for

preparing crafted items for the

residents.

We also thank Sis. Jasmine

Hooker and the Southwestern

Diocese SS & HYM for assisting

in the planning of this event.
