Fall 2007 Update
Young at Heart members (YAHs) and
friends are invited to sort cards for the Fluvanna Women's Correctional
Center on Wednesdays from 9:30 to 12 in the
Family Life Center Chapel, during the months of Sept., Oct. and
Nov. Other volunteers from the churches in our county will be
helping with this card sorting project.
The occasional cards, Christmas cards,
and stamps are donated by individuals, organizations,
and churches here in Virginia. There are 1250 inmates
that will receive a bag of cards on Tuesday, December 4. Each bag
will have approximately fifty cards and fifteen postage
stamps.
Helpers are welcomed to give a
hand with this mission project any Wednesday in the FLC
chapel.
Future events scheduled for the YAHs and
friends will be a potluck luncheon after church in the Fellowship Hall
on October 28. Come and celebrate your birthday for
this year of 2007.
The date has not been scheduled yet, but
plans are being made to have Christmas Dinner at Rev. David and
Leanne's house in December.

The YAH Mission Project is to
sort Christmas and occasional cards for the women at the Fluvanna
County Correctional Facility. Cards are donated by church congregations
throughout Virginia and stored at Effort. After the Keenagers sort and
package the cards, the inmates receive them in December.
Watch the church bulletin for future movies in the sanctuary. Bring a
sack lunch and enjoy the morning with friends. Popcorn, drinks and
desserts will be provided. (Admission: Bring a canned good for the food
pantry.)
Last year, the barbecue and jewelry party
provided funds to pay for a youth scholarship and for three Fluvanna
Christian Service Vouchers.
