Dear friends, When we were preparing to write this NEWsleer, we looked back at our previous NEWsleer to see what we had already shared with you all. Our last NEWsleer was about our Service Project experience in June, so we went to our calendar to see what all had happened since Service project, and came up with the list at the le! Needless to say, a lot has changed since our last NEWsleer: Our community, Ausns tle, our physical address and our mailing address, just to name a few! So, in the next few paragraphs, we will bring you up to speed on everything that has been going on for the past couple of months!
EPICicity! Wednesdays in July and August VBS July 30 - August 3 Surprise Summer Fundraising Tour August 9-24 FIRST Hohenfels Visit August 29-31 EuropaPark with EPICicity Students September 3 MOVE to Hohenfels! October 1
This was the route we drove while we were in the US !
Our summer program in Heidelberg drew more than 100 students and adults over four weeks! We played crazy games, and built relaonships with many NEW students and parents! For Middle School Service Project, we and several middle school students volunteered to help with the chapels VBS program! The week ended with a Slooze program, courtesy of a group from a church in Florida - nothing is more fun than being covered in slime! Our funding situaon reached a crical level in early August, and God provided some very inexpensive plane ckets, so we were able to travel to the States to do some muchneeded fundraising!
By the grace of God we raised all but $425 of our monthly need! While we were in the States, the leadership at Club Beyond asked us to pray about moving to a NEW community: USAG Hohenfels. So, shortly aer we returned to Germany we made an inial visit to get a feel for the community. Aer much prayer and consideraon, we made the decision to move to Hohenfels. Our nal events in Heidelberg were taking the EPICicity students to a theme park called EuropaPark to celebrate the compleon of the summer, and Bigger Continued... or Beer all over post with our high school students!
