Blessed by God so that we can bless...

At Community of Joy, we believe that we are blessed by God so that we can be a blessing to others.  For the past several years we have sought in a variety of ways to be a blessing to our local elementary School - Pinehurst Elementary.

Each fall we bless them with school supplies.  Here is this years blessing...

 

Currently we are taking a survey of interests or other ways that we might be able to bless them... like reading in the class room, conducting after school activities, being a teacher's helper, helping with school projects.   Other years we have done a clean up day there, supported their monthly good behavior incentives, held staff and teacher appreciations - soup lunch and cookie feast!, donated new underwear and sweat pants so that when a kid has an accident they can get changed and back in the learning environment quickly, ran the chess club, adopted families for Christmas, gifted each class with Christmas gifts for the class, blessed a needy family with food for the summer and an easter meal.   We have so appreciated the opportunity to share our blessings with this great school and the awesome teachers and staff who work so hard to educate our community's children!
