Most people who read this are also on facebook, so this will not be new to you guys, but our youth group is planning a Valentine's Banquet to raise money for Haiti. We are having it at our church on Sunday, February 14, from 5-7p.m. We, the youth group members, will be serving people, and we are asking for $10/person or $15/couple. (It is love day so we wanted to give a discount for couples) :) An extra donation is asked for children. All proceeds will be donated to ADRA, for their efforts in Haiti.
In doing some research to update my event on facebook, I came across a number of pictures displaying what has happened in Haiti. It is is so sad, and even more than that, disturbing. So much pain and destruction. All that I can say is that I hope Jesus comes back soon. I have been thinking a lot lately about how wonderful that will be, and especially the time we have in heaven when the books we be gone over. There are so many things I would love to know the whole story about. Background details and interesting facts. Oh for the day when pain and suffering will be no more!
So this week is going to be pretty busy. Youth group meeting tonight and Wednesday for extra planning for the banquet. Tuesday is my Dad's birthday, so I am making supper for him, and he's coming down to our house for it. Then before youth group on Wednesday is a personal ministries meeting that I have to go to. I think Adam had some shopping he wanted to do on Thursday, so that pretty much books the week! Wow! At least I had time yesterday to write my big Epidemiology paper of the week, so that won't be prying for my attention today. I thank God that I enjoy the things that will be keeping me busy this week!
I'd come to your banquet if I could. I'm glad you're doing something to help. I just finished an etymology paper... ^-^
