From the Message on Sunday

The boat was going down and Jesus was asleep. He was all set to sleep right through the storm.  Whenever I think about that, I wonder what the point of this story really is? Didn't Jesus know there'd be a storm? Why would He ask His disciples to sail into a terrible storm? What did they learn from that experience and what message does God have for us today about the storms of life?

En Agape',
Rev. Michael Weeks

Host a student from France this summer!

Thank you for taking the time to speak with me regarding hosting opportunities with your church. As I mentioned before, my name is Rachel and I am a part-time school teacher in our community. Every summer, I help find great families for our student program where we show students from France just how amazing our country is.
 
As a church member and school teacher in my community, it is important to me that these students are in a safe, happy, and friendly environment during their 3-week stay. These students provide a great opportunity for families of the church to gain more insight into different cultures while helping a student learn more about our culture. Many of our students and families have long-term relationships and bonds because of our program! 

Here are just a few great things about our program:
 
·  All of the students are screened and vetted for families safety
·  Students are absolutely free to host! They have their own allowance
·  The student is living with the family for three weeks in the summer
·  Families receive a $75.00 stipend each week for their student
·  You gain a new friend and opportunity to explore a new culture
       

Although not required, we encourage families to show their student a great time around the city. Families will pick up their student from the airport and it is up to them as to where they will like to take their student. You'd be amazed how many of our students enjoy a trip to Wal-mart because they've never been!
 
Please feel free to send this message to your fellow members and I will follow back up with you early next week.
 
  Thank you and many blessings,
 
Rachel
