Can you believe that summer is practically here?! School will be over and summer vacation for the kids is just around the corner. With that it brings us to a variety of changes; Power House will be out side and we will be using the trucks and or the van and trailer to do our sidewalk Sunday school. We will be using water balloons and will possibly have more straggler’s (kids and adults who come and go and stay in the outskirts) just wondering what Power House is all about. It’s an amazing opportunity to really minister to people who have never heard the good news of the gospel.

We have some up and coming events for summer; Camp Ao-Wa-Kiya is coming up real quick June 15-19 we have 3 kids from Alexander going and two leaders along with two of our teen volunteers. The Springhill Camp is at the end of the summer break for the kids and will be August 17-21 and the rest of our sites will be sending their kids to this camp. It gives more of an opportunity for those sites that started their season a little later to pick out campers and to help them with fundraising for their campers.

The Adopt-A-Camper program is coming right along RezKidz offering is now at $761.13 and donations from Adults are at $662.92.

The carwash was a success and the kids who were there raised 309.77!!! We want to thank all those who helped support this cause by getting their cars washed and for their generous

donation. We also would like to thank Walgreens for letting us have our carwash fundraiser in their parking lot.

So here’s a list of summer activities for Power House:

• Camp Ao-Wa-Kiya June 15-19
• Car Show July 19th
• Springhill Camp August 17-21

PLEASE STAY TUNED FOR OPPERTUNITES TO BE A PART OF FUNDRAISING AND HELPING OUT WITH THE CAR SHOW

Power House Baptism

Last night was the second time that we were able to bring Power House kids to be baptized.  We had 4 kids from our Sun Flower site come.  I drove the van to pick them up and drop them off.  They were very excited on the way to church.  I think they were even more excited on their way back.  (They got pretty hyped up on candy and cake.)  :)

We baptized 29 kids including our 4 Power House kids.  In my opinion, the two most powerful events that we have here in Rezkidz/Power House is camp and baptism.  I love it!  After the kids got baptized, we laid our hands on them and prayed for them.  When it is all said and done, the kids had a special reception in their honor decorated like a Birthday party.  It was another awesome event.  Check out a few pictures from the event.
