Cost Cutters charity event!

Cost Cutters will be holding their 2nd annual "Pick Your Charity Week" during the week of July 19th - 25th! Last year this event raised $7,990 for the charities that were involved and this year the goal is $10,000.

Every customer who gets a haircut during this week will be given a "ballot" with each charity listed. The customers will be asked to check the box next to the charity that they would like to have $5.00 from the cost of their haircut contributed to. The $5.00 will come from Cost Cutters.

Please spread the word about this event to friends and family! Thanks for your help!

Kids Club 2009!

Each summer, kids from Granny's House participate in "Kids Club" at The Crossing where they listen to loud music, play crazy games, build relationships with energetic volunteers and most importantly, learn more about the Lord and how crazy He is about them!

This year, over 400 youth from Columbia were on a "Quest" to find the "True King." Throughout the week, the kids met interesting friends and foes of the King, created medieval costumes, played quest-training games and served the Kingdom through special service projects!

The kids had a blast and as the week drew to a close, we heard things like "when is the next Kid's Club!?" and "I loved my teachers!" Thank you to everyone at The Crossing who made such an incredible impact in the lives of Granny's House kids!

Playin' in the mulch...

Most days at Granny's House, our front yard is filled with kids tossing around the football, playing baseball and blowing bubbles. However, last week when I walked outside about 12 kids were digging in the mulch building this.

To this day I'm not exactly sure what it was. Some of the little boys said it was a "maze" for cars to go through, and others said it was the worlds largest train track. Either way, 12 kids were peacefully building an enormous "roadway" and were incredibly proud of their project. Who needs video games and televisions when you have a huge front yard filled with mulch and toy cars ?! Our kids certainly don't...
