The children at Faith Wesleyan Church in Atkinson, Nebraska showed their support for our troops by completing projects to send in care packages.   These projects included 180 cards with a package of gum enclosed, 40 writing folders, and 180 copies of a patriotic poem with pen. 

They had lots of help – Ruby Dobias and some of her friends got together to make the cards.  Ladies from the Wandering Women’s Brunch Bunch and Celia Homemakers got together and wrote special notes in each of the cards.   Other people from Faith Wesleyan and the two club groups donated the packages of gum to go in the cards.

The ClubHouse children of Faith Wesleyan met on September 27, with their Adult “Special Friends” to complete the projects.  The items were then delivered to O’Neill to be packed into 180 care packages which will be sent to Nebraska troops sometime in early November.

ClubHouse Leaders were grateful for this project in which the children could be involved.  They want to encourage children to pray for our soldiers, and this hands-on project helps make a connection to real people.
