What are your plans for February 16, 2013?
You could sit in front of the TV and entertain yourself all day. You could complain about the cold and watch for snow flurries. You could max out your credit card at the mall.
Or…you could join thousands of children in making a hands-on difference for Christ in their own communities!
Some choices are easy!

Children’s Ministry Day Initiates Church’s Hunger Relief Ministry

There seemed to be no motivating him to acceptable behavior.
