THANK YOU CRETE
CHURCH
For donating your choir
robes - we passed them
along to the Roseland
Christian R e f o r m ed
Church & they were very
grateful. We also appre-
ciate all the snacks that
the kids collected for us
during VBS. This helps us
immensely in our efforts
to share the love of God
to children on a weekly
basis.
Ministry Spotlight - East Hazel Crest Bible Church
One of the ministries we
partner with is East Hazel
Crest Bible Church.
On Wednesday nights dur-
ing the school year we
bring a van load of chil-
dren for their “Olympian”
Program. This is a won-
derful program that in-
cludes Bible Lessons,
Scripture Memorization,
Service Projects and fun
activities. The children
also loved their VBS pro-
gram. EHCBC also hosted
our GOOD NEWS DAY .
