Summer is a busy season for many people, and it’s natural that volunteering can take a back seat when calendars get crowded. However, back-to-school season brings with it a renewed focus on routine, making now the perfect time to get reengaged. No we are not asking you to come to the center and work, though you can. Rather we are asking for help with our back-to-school kickoff for the Kid's Time program

On Saturday August 15th we will have a BBQ at the center:

⚫ We will have a bounce house; Dunk tank and other games.

⚫ A BBQ lunch will be provided thanks to chef Pastor Dan

⚫ We will host clothes give away so the kids can return to school in style!

⚫ Of course we will bring out the cotton candy machine and the Snow Cone Maker!

So how can I help? We are glad you asked!

The mid-point of the year is a great time to check in and reflect.

Whether you’re looking to get further involved this summer, give charitably, or learn more about the work we’re doing this summer, I want you to know that we welcome you with open arms.

Did you know Pastor Dan, is available to visit your church or local organization? Last year, he visited 26 churches to speak about the work we are doing here in Pine Ridge. In April alone,he met with five churches and preached at three locations to share what we are doing and how others can help us make a difference in the lives of people in Pine Ridge.

This fall, I already have trips scheduled to Lincoln, Nebraska; Cincinnati, Ohio; and Arlington, Virginia. I would be glad to visit your church, speak about the center, and even preach during worship. I always enjoy meeting people in different congregations, and I bring an interactive display with me, including a buffalo hide.

If you would like to talk about having me—or Kim, our director of immersions—visit, please email me or call the center.
Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. We hope you have a lovely summer!
