Thanks to everyone who prayed for the Back-to-School Blast at church. We had a ton of volunteers taking family photos, giving free haircuts, doing face painting, running inflatable games, teaching about fire safety, cooking, and passing out school supplies. We had at least five brand new families come, as well as many returning families who came to VBS earlier this summer. One new family who came was excited about the school pictures because she had been unable to afford school pictures of her kids for the past several years. They greatly appreciated the opportunity to take family pictures and then to receive all their needed school supplies and $100 worth of gift cards to use on new clothes! It was fun and exciting to see so many people getting connected in a non-threatening way with a loving church family. The only downside to the whole day was the 100+ heat index.
