From Richard Wansley:
At this week’s church administrative board meeting, Rev. Montgomery reported on the status of the Burroughs Apple Tree, the project which helps provide supplies and equipment to our partner elementary school, ensuring that the children have best possible learning environment. The "good news" is that nearly all of the "apples" have been picked, and likely many of our Maranatha class members are those who will provide needed items. The "bad news" is that there was one item which would enrich the school’s music program, 10 ukuleles, that no person nor class had picked due to the cost, about $500. At the board meeting, Sharon Earley, Shari and Lynne Goodwin, and I sat at the same table and almost simultaneously heard a calling (from Sara or an even "higher authority") that Maranatha should respond to this opportunity to serve! Therefore, we invite our classmates to join us by bringing your cash or check donation this Sunday to enable the purchase of these enrichment items – I know that we can reach the threshold of $500 and if or when we exceed this goal, we’ll work with the school for ways to supplement this gift to their music program as well. Thank you, and God bless you for your willingness to serve at this calling!
