Even the Youngest get Involved in Health Kits for Haiti: Two weeks ago, Carol Wietholter shared with her children’s Sunday School class about Pastor John’s challenge to the congregation to donate a certain amount of money for Haiti earthquake relief. After Carol talked with the children about the earthquake, one of her students, Jack Pensek, stood up and said, “I challenge our class to bring in 100 health bags!” Jack then went home and told his mom, Sarah, who said that if he really wanted to do it, they should make fliers for the neighborhood. Last Sunday, Jack shared that he had collected over 50 bags! He handed out fliers in his neighborhood, to his class at Union and to his dad’s work. How neat! Three of Jack’s Sunday school classmates have brought in 24 more bags! WOW! Way to go!
