WESTMORE
Greetings from the "concrete pew!" I got to sit with a bunch of children on the sidewalk, in the middle of the yard in our Azalea Gardens neighborhood on Monday and "have church!" With a little girl on my lap, kids and volunteers lining either side of me on the ground and the WESTMORE YOUTH CHOIR from Tennessee leading us in worship, I was in my happy place!
(And I think God was too. :) We were so blessed to have them visit us last Sunday and Monday, singing, dancing serving and encouraging us. Of course the kids loved them and were also fascinated with the guitar.
THANK YOU,WESTMORE!
"Second Saturdays" are Back!
Reminder: THIS SATURDAY (Tomorrow, 6/8), we will have our monthly "Second Saturday" Outreach time, from
9:00am-1:00pm. We will pray at 9:00, then get lunch supplies, cold waters and play activities ready to take out into the neighborhood for outreach! If you would like to join us, please make sure you have rsvp'd by e-mail, or call/text
863-838-5294. Don't forget to dress modestly, wear close-toed shoes for safety and sunscreen for the heat! We would appreciate your help in our garden area as well, and prayers for our Chief Gardener who is battling health problems and has not been able to work on it lately.Looking forward to another amazing day at the Village tomorrow!
June Break
Every year we do our best to take June off, at least from our normal schedule of programs that run from week to week. Apart from the outreach mentioned above and our last Monday night of each month Volunteer Meeting,(6/24 at 6:30pm, Bartow Starbucks)
we are once again taking a step back this month.I would appreciate your prayers for myself, my family, our team and our community at this time. Thank You and Happy Summer!We will be in touch soon about July and August.

One last THANK YOU...You may remember that last summer I hit a really close call with our finances, but the Lord came through in the midnight hour! THANK YOU to all of you who joined forces at that time, or continued giving after already doing so! If you are a part of our "Hope Team," giving faithfully each month, you are helping to make sure we can meet our budget needs, and I can continue to lead this precious ministry God has entrusted me with and work with such incredible people and children!If the Lord leads you to move on from this commitment (Our Giving commitments are accounted for from August to the following August each year) then thank you for carrying us this far and God bless you! If you plan to renew your giving commitment, modify it, or sign up as a brand new monthly donor, please let us know so that we can properly plan and budget for the new ministry which begins in just a few weeks! Thank you!
With Love and gratitude, Jessica Goodman (Mama J)
