Our Children In Action (CIA'S) at church have been learning about a missionary named Eric Bergquist. He started a ministry in San Francisco California called the Page Street Baptist Ministry. They help homeless people and runaways. They give them an opportunity to earn food and clothing by helping and serving others. Our CIA'S are collecting new socks for a mission's project to send to help with this ministry. Here are a few pictures of the kids decorating a sock box and a mural to conclude this months lesson. My class is 1st thru 3rd grade mostly boys and Mrs. Suzanne's class is 4th thru 6th grade and mostly girls. Last night before my class joined the older class to work on the project we were discussing donating the socks to this ministry. I gave each boy a pair of socks that I had purchased to put in the box. None of them wanted to carry the girls socks to the box. The boys were quite curious about who donates the rest of the clothing. I explained that other's helped this ministry as well and some might donate shoes, or pants or even underwear. You should of seen their eyes light up and they started giggling. I said well we all wear them right and they all agreed. Then one little boy with a very serious face said who has to donate the bra's? He was very glad that it wasn't us and it wouldn't be our next mission project.
Blessings
