Kids Helping Kids

Matthew 10: 13 and 14
People were bringing little children to him in order that he might touch them; and the disciples spoke sternly to them. But when Jesus saw this, he was indignant and said to them, ‘Let the little children come to me; do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs.'

So began Thursday at Mission Possible, a day for the St. Anne's kids to remember that Jesus counts children as important members of God's kingdom.



Some painted birdhouses, some played bingo, some watered plants, all made new friends among the children whose special needs are addressed in a local summer program in Fairfax County Public Schools.

We walked our new friends to their buses and headed back to St. Anne's for a lunch break.

Over the past two weeks, members of the congregation have been dropping off school supplies. This afternoon the Mission Possible team sorted through the pile of donations.

Supplies were organized by category and decisions were made as to how to pack bags for elementary aged students and middle school or high school aged students.

The sorted and packed supplies will be taken by the youth group members who are headed to Dungannon, Virginia this weekend.
