The after-school tutoring program has been a cornerstone of ministry at Huntington Ridge apartments for years. To let students and parents know that it will start again on August 19, we had a kickoff event Tuesday, August 12. Each youngster received a pencil case holding two pencils, a plastic cross on a string and an information sheet on the tutoring program.
We originally had purchased the crosses for
Vacation Bible School (half-price sale at Hobby Lobby), and we had enough for nearly all of the 70-plus pencil cases we distributed.
Our neighbor, Gael, entertained young Wesley Edwards, the son of former Huntington Ridge missionary Sherry Edwards. Sherry continues to volunteer in the after-school program.
Students getting off the school bus Tuesday afternoon were directed to the parking lot of the office, where we had set up tables. Children helped themselves to a cool
Capri Sun as an after-school snack. Of course we had cookies, too.
Sherry and Wesley greeted a swarm of youngsters Tuesday afternoon in the parking lot of the Huntington Ridge apartments office. The complex has many stay-at-home mothers who see their children off on the bus in the morning and greet them when they return.

Perimeter Church,
Marina and Alec, dropped by Tuesday. The church is a key partner in Whirlwind Missions’ ongoing ministry at Huntington Ridge.
What fun to see the expressions on the children's faces. Looks like this year is going to be great.
