From the Pastor’s desk……
This Sunday, August 16, we will celebrate our covenant with
Davis Early Childhood Center for Technology. As you remember, we have distribute notecards with the names of
each staff member and teacher at the school. You will be
invited to take a card and pray for that person this year. We
also ask that you write a note or send a card of encouragement several times throughout the year.
We will also be inviting church members to become a reading mentor for a child at Davis. There will be more information about this coming soon.
Finally, remember we are actively engaged in the backpack
ministry there. We will pack weekend meals for 60 children
this school year. This program increases every year because
of your generosity. Yet, we remember that 98% of the student body qualifies for this program. We manage only to
meet the need of almost 10% of them.
Cayce UMC is making a difference at Davis Early Childhood
Center for Technology, thanks be to God.
