Service Night Coming Soon!

AHG!  Service Night is coming up soon and we have a great evening planned for you.  :)

Mark your calendars for Monday, April 7th at 6pm...and be sure to be on time!  We have a lot of stuff to do, a great speaker that will be sharing their story (which ties in to one of our service projects for the night) and many new projects to work on this year.

*I have been working on putting these projects together over the last few months and just have to tell you...I still get comments from Next Chapter Ministries about the notes and treats you made at our last service night.  You may not think you did much or that a little note or picture is a big deal...but all of you made a HUGE impact to kids that are your age who are living right here in Rochester.  Thank you for helping.  I can't wait to show you what is coming up and see the impact that you will make from our next Service Night!*

For those who participate in this service night, 1 hour can be added on your service log.

Next Chapter Ministries Service Opportunities

Are you looking for a way to help others out that live in the Rochester area?

At our last Service Night we introduced you to a group called Next Chapter Ministries.  This group is located in Rochester, MN and works with a variety of people in the area.  Our focus during our service night was to provide encouragement to the kids that are part of this program.

I recently heard from this ministry in town and they are wondering if you would like to help them!  Here are a few ways that you, a few friends or you and a parent can help:

1. cleaning/organization in the kids area (organizing the game closet, cleaning out craft bins, straightening books, etc.).  That would probably take 1-2 hrs and you would come at a time when the kids aren't all here.
2. The kids loved the treats AHG made before, so this would be a great thing to do again! :)  Or making fleece tie blankets would be another way to help this group, these are often given out as gifts and the kids love them.
3. Come teach a craft to the kids during their Monday/Wednesday kids group.  For this to happen, it shouldn't be a big group of kids that would teach but about 4 to 7 would work well. 
4. A few girls could also just come to participate in the kids group for an evening to meet the kids and see how Next Chapter Ministries works with the youth.  

If you are interested in helping with any of these opportunities, please contact Jessica W. at an AHG meeting or via e-mail at mominmn@gmail.com.
