Making “Salvation” Bracelets for Honduras Short Term Ministry
On Tuesday, June 8th, at 6:30 p.m. in Room 117 at KBC, women and their families are invited to come and make “salvation” bracelets. As children wait for relatives to be seen by the Honduran medical brigade, they hear the gospel presented, receive a bracelet, and get their hair washed and styled. The girls are adorned with colorful barrettes, headbands, etc. Kids with lice get an extra shampoo, and all leave with smiles. When you come to help make the bracelets, please consider a monetary donation to pay for the materials to make the bracelets and/or contributing with one or more of the following items: Pharmacy Items: snack bags, craft bags (re-closable size 2x3 and 3x4), Lexmark 44XL ink cartridges, Avery labels 5160 (address labels) or Children’s Ministry Items: barrettes, ponytail holders and headbands.

Here’s a new idea: to have a database of women who would like to receive Spur of the Moment Girls’ Get Togethers invites. When something comes up, e-mail the activity that you would like to plan and organize. Get together ideas do not have to be expensive or time consuming to plan. Some ideas could be: meet to play some board games, see a good movie, attend a play, go for a hike, shopping, or just need to get together, visit and pray. If you would like to get Spur of the Moment Girls’ Get Together invites or to invite “girls” to join you in a fun activity, e-mail
SpuroftheMoment@kenoshabible.org. The invite will be passed on. Be sure to put SPUR OF THE MOMENT in your e-mail subject line. For further questions, contact Crystal Gillmore at 553-9093 or
