Hey Everyone, here’s what’s up:
1. Make a HUGE impact this summer at the Mission Adelnate Kids Camp – LOTS of help needed! Seriously, this is one of THE coolest things we get to do all year. We serve, we connect cross culturally in KCK, we connect with our own student community. Give one night of your summer, or all 4 to make a childrens camp possible to the Hispanic and Bhutanese families we reach out to during the week of June 20-23. Cost is free, but your energy is needed! Say “YES” today!
Like Eric Haynes and I talked about this past Sunday on the “Parenting Adolescents” topic, families need to “create space” to join God together and to create shared memories. Make some shared memories with your teen by signing up for this really cool week of reaching out to kids in KCK. Only 25% of what we need have signed up and we only have 3 weeks to go!
2. Buya Pizza Party Friday June 10th – In the Underground 6:30-9pm – Please RSVP so I can get enough pizza, thanks!

“As the camp proceeded, though, we noticed that through passionate soccer games, dance parties, and incredible teaching from the Shoal Creek group, the kids began to play and laugh together. The shyness evaporated as the kids began to see that they weren’t so different from each other and that maybe, just maybe, this new friend that they had made might be able to understand them in a really deep way.” From the staff of Mission Adelante
