Outreach at Crown of Life

This week was a busy one for outreach at Crown of Life.

First was Camp Sonshine. This week we conducted our all day long all week long Bible day camp with 41 children, 8 staff, 9 borrowed vehicles, 2 bus drivers and a partridge in a pear tree. It's all fact except the partridge in the pear tree. It was a great week with Bible stories themed on Jesus & water, loud singing, swimming, bowling, Soak City, the Beach, crafts, hula hoops and Crown of Australian Life Insurance tee shirts. Special thanks to Carin who was this year's camp director; to a great staff: Carin, Louise, Courtney, Lauren, Nicole and Amanda.. Thanks also to everyone who loaned us a vehicle, to the meal hosts and host homes and to Kelly for the special snacks for the children. We went through $100 in sunscreen (Water Babies SPF 50), a mountain of snacks and gallons of drinks. Next year, I will recommend to parents whose children are extremely sensitive to the sun that they get rash guard shirts for their children. We did have some sunburn on a few children even though we greased up the kids with sunscreen every hour and a half.

Now the work of follow up.

Corona 4th of July Parade And this year COL had a float again. Mike, our outreach guy, rented a 20 foot flatbed. Jennifer designed the decorations. The Chojnackis and Sheltons did the decorating. Tim put together a band (great job Brad, Leah, Heather, Connor, Savannah and Tim) and today the Brys, Gowins, Ferreris, Chojnackis, Unkes, Jason Smith, Cathy Reisinger and Darla Travers handed out 3000 pencils. Today we rubbed shoulders with our community.
