"Help Us to Be Like Them"
Flutist: Robyn Frazier
They who love the Lord lmve found a gift so rare.
They who love the Lord know joy beyond compare.
And their hearts are lighter, spirits brighter knowing God is always there.
Help us be like them, Lord. Help us to be like them.
She who trusts the Lord has hope that will not fade.
She vvho trusts the Lord need never feel afraid,
For
her
faith will guide her, live inside her, growing with each passing day.
Help us be like them, Lord. Help us to be like them.
They who serve the Lord reach out to those in need.
They who serve the Lord help others to believe;
For they give so freely, love completely, sharing all that lift can mean.
Help us be like them, Lord. Help us to be like them.

DAYS FOR GIR.LS OUTREACH
Oul Northview Days for Girls group is happy to have finished another
100 feminine hygiene kits which we provided to a mission team at Fincastle
Baptist Church. Their team will be taking the kits to Guatemala this summer
to make a diffelence in the lives of some young ladies there. No matter what part you
may have played, we want to thank each of you who have helped with this project.
Our next work day together will be on Tuesday, May 24 at9:00 a.m.
THE ANNUAL ALL SOCIAL CLUBS DANCE
Sponsoled by a grant from the Down Syndrome Association, the All Social Clubs
Dance is heid each Spring. Traditionally, the site for the dance has been the Holiday InnTanglewood. Now that they are no longer under the auspices of Blue Ridge Behavioral
Healthcare, it fell to the Social Clubs' sponsors to host the dance for the members,
something they look forward to all year. Debbie Tanis, coordinator of the Windsor Hill
Sociai Club, agreed to head up the effort. David Skole, minister at Christ Lutheran,
volunteered to provide the food. "I cook for 150 of my congregation all the time," he
said.
When the District Superintendent, Kathleen Overby-Webster,
visited the Northview SC last year, she mentioned that an application
to the district for help with the funding of the dance would be an
appropriate use of our apportionments. An application was made,
and the district provided a $500 grant!
Armed with grants from Down Syndrome and the UMC,
various venues were considered. The American Legion building in
Salem was the most economical. There were decorations, DJ's to provide the music, a
photographer who took pictures of individuals and small groups and lots of good food
and fun ! After expenses there was enough money left to provide "goody bags" for
members as they left the dance.
Lawrence from Buchanan came in a new shirt and tie. It seems girls were calling
all week to see if he was coming to the dance. He won a certificate for having "The
Smoothest Moves". Bobby got on the dance floor in his wheel chair giving new meaning
to "rock and ROLL". He didn't lack for partners, and he was awarded "The Coolest
Dancer" certificate. Members and volunteers did the Twist, the Electric Slide, and the
Shuffle.
Those who didn't dance enjoyed listening to the music, watching the antics of
their friends, eating party food and simply being out and having a good time. It was a
night to remember. Look for pictures on the SC bulletin boald.
