October Party Update

Just a quick note to let you know that tonight's party was GREAT! The kids and moms had a great time with all of the games, crafts and yummy snacks! Everyone loved the mini cupcakes, ghost cookies and fall sprinkle Rice Krispies treats. A big special thanks to all of our volunteers who came out to help with the party.

Our next party is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, November 18. We will check in with Hope House next week to see if there are any November birthdays. They are expecting some new kids soon.

Thank you for your help and support!!

September Party Update

Just a quick note to let you know that our Fall Fun Party went well...the moms and kids made three crafts (leaf rubbings, woodland creature magnets and leaf placemats), plus one of our volunteers made a fun snack of Jello leaf wigglers, "leaf piles," and pretzels. The kids also got to take home goody bags with more fun fall stuff. A special thanks to everyone who came to help at the party! it's great that so many new volunteers are interested in getting involved with Caring Candles!

Our First Mission Minute!

This past Sunday was a great opportunity to share the Caring Candles mission with the Wesley congregation and let them know what we've been up to these past few months. We had lots of people express an interest in becoming a part of this mission -- we are so excited to have new volunteers. Welcome and Thank You!

August Birthday Party at Hope House

We had an "apple-licious" time at the Caring Candles party for the August birthday kids at Hope House. Unfortunately, one of the birthday girls was sick, but we saved her and her family some cake, goody bags and her present. The rest of us decorated foam apple magnets, played Pin the Apple on the Apple Tree, ran an apple relay race and created art with real apple prints. The birthday kids loved their presents, too!

A special thank you to our volunteers for coming over to help prepare the goody bags, donating the yummy cake and for helping at the party, too! The kids (and moms) seemed to really enjoy all of the attention! Having more hands to help decorate, play games/prep crafts and clean up is very appreciated!!

Our Hope House contact is out of town now until the end of August, so as soon as we hear from her when she gets back we will have more details for our September party.

In the meantime, our Mission Minute Sunday is coming up on September 13.

Thank you for all of your support, time and efforts on behalf of Caring Candles!!

July Party

Last night's party was another great success! Our one-year-old birthday girl really seemed to enjoy her celebration -- and we hope it is just one of many wonderful memories to come in her life for her and her mom. A special thank you to our volunteers for leading songs, crafts and story times. The cake was donated, too!!

Our next party is scheduled for Wednesday, August 19--mark your calendars!

Our Mission Minute is Coming!

The Caring Candles Mission Minute has been scheduled for Sunday, September 13. We will be briefly speaking at each of the five services that morning about what we do as a ministry. We will also host a table in the lobby where people can stop and talk to us more about what we do and how they can get involved. Look for the BIG birthday cake!

June Party

Our June Birthday Party at Hope House was a great success! Boy Scout Pack 686 sponsored the evening complete with Kindermusik class, Dora pinata and fun-filled goody bags. We also had new volunteers join in on the fun. Now we'll start planning the July party!
