A Wonderful Experience
On Saturday, September 24, 2011, 8 members of the Dance Ministries worked with the Trustees Ministry to host the monthly birthday party for the children at Interim House - the joyful Project Cotton Candy.
What a rewarding and enriching experience. We all left from the church in good spirits, a little unsure about what to expect, but ready for anything. We arrived a little late (5 minutes), but everyone jumped right in, unloading the supplies and prepping the activities and food. There were only a couple of little faces waiting when we first came through the doors, but then "the announcement" was made and children came from everywhere! There were crafts and games and toys and bingo. Shouts of "Bingo", "Pass the glue", "I can't get that funny bone", "How do you play this game?" "Where's the cotton candy?" ringing throughout. I don't think it got quieter when it was time to eat, I believe the talking and laughing just moved into another space as hot dogs, chips and drinks were distributed by the Kitchen Team (great job, ladies and gentlemen). One of our dance members, I won't mention any names (Sis Yolanda), was such a blessing to a little one, she wanted to go with us as we were saying our goodbyes.
Two short hours and it was all over, but we left full of the Spirit and the Joy of Giving Gracefully. Several of the September 24th group have made arrangements to return to Interim House and continue to share the love in various ways.
Thank you, NPMBC, for bringing this wonderous event into our lives.

Project Cotton Candy
Project Cotton Candy is a NPMBC project geared to host monthly birthday parties at Interim House (a housing program for battered women and their children). We need approximately 10 people from the dance ministries to attend with us this Saturday and help host/hostess the event with the Trustee Ministry. So with myself and my sons, that means I only need 7 more people to volunteer to help out. We need to arrive at the church at 10:00am in order to load the buses and arrive at Interim House by 10:40 to unload and set up. The event will run from 11am to 12:30pm and then we will return to the church directly after.
Please let me know if you and/or your child is able to attend and help spread some joy into other children's lives.
