By now many of you will have seen pictures on Facebook of the Matsiko World Orphan Choir performance in the chapel on Friday, July 8. The chapel was completely full that night with some of our non-vacationing folks attending. But most attendees were members of the Newton community. It is great that so many came and supported the event.
The performance by the children was simply marvelous. They are free with their singing, dancing, and especially hugs. The picture of them saying goodbye to Lois Arthur on Saturday morning is a particular highlight.
The success of their three day stay at First Baptist Church would not have been as successful and effective if you had not all gotten behind the process. Thank you for bringing sleeping gear, helping set up, buying and cooking food, helping hang child art, etc. This certainly was a church effort!
Much sleeping gear is still in the Evert's Room downstairs. Be sure you pick it up on Sunday.
In gratefulness to all of you.
