Eagle Scout Project

/

Daniel Duke is a Life Scout with Troop 757 at Hollydale UMC and is working on his Eagle Scout project.  He shared his project with the congregation yesterday at church and what a great idea and opportunity for Calvary Children’s Home.  Below is a message from Daniel about himself and the project.  Also below are two links, one to support Daniel financially through a gofundme.com page to purchase the items he has mentioned and a link to Calvary Children’s Home that is located on Lost Mountain Road in Powder Springs.  You can also help by providing some of the materials he has listed in his message below as well as yarn for knitting & crocheting that was added last night and can bring them by the church if you would like or can contact Daniel or his mother Trisha via email and coordinate how to get the items to him. Their emails are above.  Daniel plans to put together 75 bags and the deadline is Sunday, January 21st, so please keep the timing in mind.  Please pray for Daniel and the children’s home as they work together to give these foster children something of their own.  Thank you for your prayers and consideration.

Hello and happy new year. My name is Daniel Duke, and I am a Senior in the North Cobb High School magnet program and plan to attend

Kennesaw State University for a degree in Computer Science. I joined Pack 757 in 2006 as a first grader, and am now a member of Troop 757.

I'm currently working on my BSA Eagle Project and am gathering donations for contributing to the Calvary Children’s Home in the form

of care packages for the children in transition as well as those who reside there.  My aim is to collect drawstring bags to fill with

things like Bibles, toiletries (shampoo, deodorant, sunscreen chap stick, etc.), socks, blankets, brushes, combs, umbrellas, make-up,

sunglasses, ball caps, toboggans; all of which will go into making a package each child may call their own. Other things we desire to

collect are craft supplies, balls, frisbees, and other assorted items the children can enjoy communally.

    If you are interested in a wonderful philanthropy opportunity to share or assist with my project by making a contribution of any of

these materials or similar items you think the children may benefit from having, or simply a monetary donation, it will be greatly

appreciated. To learn more about Calvary Children’s Home, visit their site athttp://www.calvarykids.org. Thanks for your consideration and

all you currently do in support of all children, their educations and future.

Sincerely, Daniel Orion Duke

Please keep Nicole Keyser in your prayers.  Nicole was diagnosed a few weeks ago with MRSA which is aninfection caused by a type of staph bacteria that's become resistant to many of the antibiotics used to treat ordinary staph infections. She has experienced multiple sores throughout her body and is undergoing treatment by an infectious disease doctor.  She is healing, but has shared today that she still has some sores that keep bleeding.  Please pray for healing for Nicole and that this terrible infection is gone very soon.  Thank you.

Spread the word so folks are buying their pumpkins from our Hollydale UMC Patch!  

  • Share that all the money is split between the church & the Navajo Indian Reservation in NM.

  • Share there is face painting, pumpkin carving, story time, & pumpkin painting on sight.

  • Share that on Fridays from 2-4pm there will be Pamper the Pets where the kids can come interact with animals (rabbit, turtle, dog) and help raise money for the Girl Scouts.

  • The pumpkins are reminding us of our most powerful weapon/tool for living well.  Challenge your friends, coworkers, and people you don't know standing next to you in line at the checkout to stop by and see if they can figure out what the pumpkins are reminding them to do.

Truck To Houston - Food & Help For Hurricane Hit Families

I just found out that Pastor Roberto has secured a whole truck load of food from Atlanta Food Bank! Praise the Lord!  AFB is donating it to the Houston area.  This Sunday after the 11am service, the Powder Springs Hispanic community is hosting a luncheon to raise money to pay a truck driver to drive the food to Houston.  All are invited.

Additionally, if anyone wants to go to help the community of Houston, there is a group going from Thursday to Sunday of next week.  Contact Pastor April if you want to go.

If you want to help with supplies for those going, bring any of the following to Hollydale UMC this Sunday and place them under the altar.  We are collecting scrub brushes, buckets, garbage bags, gloves, soap-Dawn, Clorox bleach, shovels, paint brushes/rollers, paint pans, paint, and most of all prayers!

Pray for those suffering and families who have lost loved ones in Mexico.  Pray for those facing devastation in Puerto Rico.  May all lean upon the Savior and draw close to God.

Blessings!
