The Violet Connection 17

Events & Volunteers

Hey Violet! I know there are so many things happening from the end of the school year, graduation celebrations, spring sports ending, and just the chaos of it all! The end of the school year means Mondays we will be missing the Pickerington Local Schools Service-Learning Group that meets every Monday during the school year and Thursdays for the CBS Bible Study Group. We love having both of these groups in the building and the relationships we build with the teachers and students. May was also busy with Violet hosting a Red Cross Blood Drive, a Special Election, and serving at Stowe. These serving opportunities are ongoing, and we can always use more help. This month we will spend a lot of time getting ready for one of our biggest outreaches to the community, Mega Sports Camp. Let me tell you all about it! Mega Sports Camp is a weeklong outreach from July 7th to 10th from 6-8:30 pm. Each day, kids will discover how to become champions, both in sports and in their faith. They'll engage daily with the Bible through music, interactive Bible stories, and Scripture memorization. Kids will rotate between basketball, volleyball, and soccer, or they can participate in cheerleading only. Through action-packed sports training sessions mixed with interactive rallies, kids will have fun with this year's theme - IN YOUR ELEMENT . MEGA Sports Camp® In Your Element invites kids to discover who Jesus has made them to be. To be in your element means to thrive in your environment and excel in the strengths God has given you. Kids are in their element when they’re in a relationship with Jesus. This week, kids will learn from the life of Jesus’ disciple Peter what it looks like to be in your element. In Your Element is designed for kids to engage with the science that supports sports. They'll learn what it takes to be a better athlete and to grow as a follower of Jesus. This camp is for kids who have finished Kindergarten through 5th grade. Violet, we need your help! Would you please consider serving with us? We estimate that 180 kids will participate in this camp. There are so many volunteer options; please check out the registration on our website or the church center app, or reach out to me for more details! Do you want to help us invite people and tell them all about Mega Sports Camp and other events going on at the church? Then sign up to walk with us in the Pickerington Fourth of July Parade! We will meet at the parade route between 8:30 and 9:30 am on July 4th and hand out candy and invites!

As always, if you’re looking to get involved and serve, I would love to connect with you. I am praying for everyone's transition from Spring to Summer.
