5+2 Kid's Club
5+2 Kid's Club is an organization of children who want to serve others in our community. Our mission statement is "Sharing Jesus by Helping Others."The name 5+2 comes from the story of the little boy who gave Jesus 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish to feed the people. Jesus asks to just bring what we have and he will miraculously multiply it to bless the world. We will be having monthly mission projects. Feel free to bring your elementary age friends, neighbors, cousins - everyone is invited to participate and see God move through the children.
Our first mission project will be a Bike-a-Thon at the church on Sunday, Nov. 8th from 3-5pm. We will be raising $$ to purchase keyboards for special needs children to give to Our Children's House at Baylor. Our own 7 year old Ashley Simmons (who has cerebal palsy) is one of the patients that has benifitted from Our Children's House.
Our Children's House at Baylor is a licensed pediatric hospital dedicated to giving quality care to children from infancy to age 18 who need medical care and treatment for developmental and birth disorders, traumatic injury, and severe illness.
These keyboards have larger keys which allow patients to have better control in typing and will assist them in their educational progress. We will be including a book about Jesus with each keyboard. We are donating the keyboards and books about Jesus to the centers in Frisco and Allen.
Bike-a-Thon
What: Pledge drive to raise $$ to purchase special keyboards. Each child needs to fill out a registration card at church. The child will be given a pledge sheet and envelope to collect the $$. We're asking each child to get at least 10 pledges. The pledges can be so much $$ per lap or a flat $$ amount.
Where: We will hold the bike-a-thon in the parking lot of The Corners Church, Highway 121 and Custer. We will have a separate area for small children to ride also.
When: Sunday, November 8th from 3-5pm
Who: Ashley's family, Steve and Patti Simmons and brother Matthew are sponsoring and coordinating this event. For more information and to help with this event, please contact Patti at 972-881-2121.
