Happenings @ the MAC

This has been a great week so far.  Monday I got to take 8 kids/youth and 1 extra adult for a Kicks for Kids event.  We were invited to take part in their banquet for their golf fundraiser.  The kids had a great time!  They had a great meal, got to meet the UK head coach, meet some Bengals cheerleaders and get one of their autographs, and so much more.  Tuesday night we had "simply dinner" at the MAC.  This ministry continues to grow. We had a total of 83 show up for dinner last night.  Martha Pike provided a great main course for the night.  Everyone had a great time. 

Simply Dinner

I am very excited about one of our new ministries we started this summer.  "Simply Dinner" provides a free meal on Tuesday Nights in June from 6-7pm to anyone who shows up.  In the past two weeks we have provided 135 dinners to 102 different people.  Dinner and fellowship (and an air conditioned building) is all that is provided, but people are having a great time.  Pray that as we reach out to the community through this ministry that lives might be changed not only in the here and now, but for eternity.

Summer @ the MAC

It has been a very full week at the MAC.
Monday we had "Children's Night"
Tuesday we had "Simply Dinner"
Wednesday we had "Youth Night"
Friday night we had an "Air Conditioned Picnic"
Sunday we had our first "Giving Back Project" (we passed out ice cream at Krogers and helped to clean up their parking lot).
It was a busy, but fun, week.  Just this week we reached over 150 individuals. 

This week we have:
Tuesday - "Simply Dinner" from 6-7pm
Thursday - "Giving Back Project" from 6:30-7:30pm.
If you are free come out and join us.
I also get to speak with Highland Heights Baptist VBS on Monday and do a mission project with Burlington Baptist VBX on Wednesday.  Should be a great week.
Please keep me and all the volunteers in your prayers.  Pray that we have opportunities to share Christ.

Prayer Request

Just received a bid from a company for the work that we need to have done on our boxed gutters.  The bid was $12, 592.50.  I would like for you to join me in praying that we receive this money that is needed or we find a company that is able to do the same work at a better price (and then for that money to be provided).  God has blessed us with a great building to do ministry in.  I know that I serve a God that is in the business of providing for our needs.  I am trusting Him to provide for this need. Please join me in lifting this need up to the Lord and trusting Him to provide.
Thanks,
Amy Wilhelmus
MAC Director

Wednesday Night Programs

On Wednesday nights we have Hiding Place (Kdg-5th graders) and Youth Night (Middle School and High School Students).  The center was really moving last night.  We had 43 kids show up for Hiding Place and 12 youth show up for Youth Night.  Everyone had a great time playing, singing, making crafts, eating snacks, and most importantly learning about God's Word.

I am very blessed to have a wonderful group of volunteers that are here to not only tell about God's Love, but to show His Amazing Love to those who attend.

Pray for the children, youth, and adults that attend and volunteer at the programs.  Prayer changes lives and that is what we are seeking to do here at the MAC.

Beach Party

On Friday, April 23rd, we had a Beach Party at the MAC.  There were approximately 70 people in attendance.  I sadly missed out on the event, but I was told the place was hopping.  There was free hot dogs, chips, ice cream and drinks.  There were crafts to be made, games to be played and prizes to be won.  I want to encourage you to not miss out on our monthly community event.  There is always fun to be had.

Thanks to everyone who helped pull this night off in my absence.

Easter Party

We had a great time at our community wide Easter Party.  There were about 80 kids and 40 adults that came to participate in the event.  The kids and the parents all seemed to have a great time.  We had a coloring contest, crafts, egg hunts, games, door prizes, and most importantly the telling of the Easter story.  Union Baptist Youth Group and members from South Side Baptist showed up to pull the event off. There were individuals and churches that gave to the event to provide the needed supplies.  Thanks to everyone who helped make the day a blessing for all involved.
