SITE HAPPENINGS!
October has been a very busy and fruitful month at Sidewalk Ministries! With beautiful weather, all five of our sites are up and running – with LOTS of kids! It is so great to arrive at the Site and have kids waiting for and excited to see usl! We have been going through Old Testament lessons and learning about TRUSTING God this month.
EXTRA ACTIVITIES!
First Baptist Jacksonville held a Youth Event, the Autumn Institute, brought a Fall Festival to our Valencia Way Site. In fact, many of our Sidewalk teens that attend First Baptist were on-site to help and serve their community! It was a wonderful time, with lots of games, pumpkins, and testimonies. What the kids loved most of all, however, is the attention and love they received from the teens.
Tutoring also continues to grow at our Calloway Cove Site. Not only is this an important time to help our kids with their education, we develop sweet relationships with them beyond our weekly program.
TEEN NIGHTS!
Valencia Way hosted a second Teen Night this month. We are so thankful for our church partnerships with New Mount Moriah AME and New St. James AME who provided such a relatable and dynamic speaker for our teens as well as their leadership. Our Teen Nights are gaining traction and consistency is key. Please join us in praying for opportunities to impact our teens. Normandy Estates is also hoping to begin a Teen Program in the weeks to come.
CAREER NIGHTS!
Auld and White sponsored two Career Nights for us at our Valencia Way and Desert Winds Sites. We are grateful to the Church of the Messiah for providing a scrumptious meal! It was lots of fun and a community-building time. The teens learned how to use basic tools. They then worked together to build a couple of picnic tables. They had the opportunity to sign their tables and leave them to be used in their communities!
SIDEWALK MINISTRIES IS G-R-O-W-I-N-G!!
We are currently talking with a group interested in launching a NEW Site in the Lem Turner area. A new church staff is on board in this area, and they are looking for ways to impact their community. We look forward to giving you updates about this process.
VOLUNTEER/MISSIONARY NEEDS
We are specifically looking for a Driver at our Palmetto Glen Site. In addition, we are hoping to recruit some new leaders for the potential Lem Turner Site. We can always use extra hands and would love to work with YOU!
