TISD Students Show Service Above Self

It was the idea of two students that united an entire elementary campus to raise funds for a project more than 6,000 miles away. Fourth graders Avery Olive and Ayden Erkin approached Jack Elementary Principal, Shauna Hittle, several weeks ago with a plan to help raise money for The American Red Cross to help victims in Japan. The project they proposed would allow students and staff to wear their pajamas to school if they brought $2 for the Japan relief effort.

“They told me they would like to have ‘Jammies for Japan’ day,” said Hittle. “They were responsible for making the flyers to send home as well as collecting the donations.”

And plan they did. The girls turned their idea into a reality. With the principal’s permission, Olive and Erkin created the fliers that went home with more than 680 students at the campus. On Friday, students and staff came to school in their favorite PJ’s to help the cause. The campus raised $842.30.

“We are so proud of our service minded Jack Patriots,” Hittle said.

Dayspring will be participating in One Prayer 2010. This has been a powerful way for our congregation to hear the gospel communicated by some of the most dynamic speakers across the country. Don’t miss One Prayer on the BIG screen again this year.

BUILDING A CHURCH WITHOUT WALLS

Our BACWW campaign was an unbelievable success for our young congregation. Sunday I announced that we had committed 1.271 million. By this morning, we have close to 1.3 million committed for our first facility. What this number reflects is the sacrificial giving of our entire congregation. There was unanimous support to purchase our property and move forward with the building process. But a vote is different than actually saying I commit to make it happen. With this outpouring of generosity, the Dayspring congregation said—together we will make this possible. Thanks be to God for the ministry that has been accomplished and is yet to happen in the days ahead!
