Violet Baptist Church: Reaching the Community!
July was a busy month with a lot of events and community outreach.
On July 4th, we walked in the Pickerington Parade, handing out cups, candy, and information about Violet. We had so much fun! Thank you to everyone who helped with this event; we had a lot of fun and can’t wait to do it again next year! From July 7th to July 10th, Violet hosted Mega Sports Camp. During this time, we had around 65 volunteers and 170 kids throughout the week. I am so thankful to all who served leading up to this week and during the week. This is a huge community outreach, and we could not have done it without so many people serving! We had so many different areas to serve, from behind the scenes to working directly with the kids. Each night, the kids would start in the Worship Center for an opening rally where we would sing and dance, followed by an overview of the lesson for the evening. The kids would then rotate to a sports session. Every night, the kids would also have a devotion time in their small group where they would learn more about Jesus from their huddle coach leaders. The end of each evening concluded back in the Worship Center with a Bible story, gospel presentation, and music. On July 11th, adults and youth served at Stowe Mission. We have many faithful volunteers who serve at Stowe on the second Friday of every other month but could always use more. If you are interested in learning more about this serving opportunity, please reach out to me.
The Pickerington Local School District used the VioletCafé on July 15th for a Town Hall Meeting with the new superintendent. Throughout the year, the VioletCafé is often used by the school district for meetings and training.
And to round out the month of July, Violet hosted Pickerington Local Schools Kindergarten Screening. We had many Violet greeters here to welcome all the families and help pass out snacks and donated school supplies.
Wow! What a month! Thank you for an awesome month of serving our community together. I am looking forward to all the events and community outreach planned for this fall. If you would like more information or help getting plugged in, please reach out to me.
