Impossible Dreams @ Lakeridge UMC

The power of one -- dream

We have totaled up the "Nothing but Nets" funds that our church as collected, and the amount is more than $10,000.

This represents the money collected between last fall when we kicked off the project through yesterday. The actual total, to the penny, was $10,765.66, and a check for that amount will be sent to the Nothing but Nets organization.

The money number is impressive, but what it will do is even more impressive. The total will allow for a purchase of 1,076 nets, which will protect 4,304 people from malaria.

Amazing what can happen when one dream is set in motion.

Dream Updates

Change for Children:

LakeRidge UMC donated $200 to Dunbar Middle School as a result of the Change for Children program. The impact:

The school was able to purchase glasses for two more students just before spring break and to help the school's choir program. The choir attends UIL competitions each year, and they have not been able to "look" like a choir because of a lack of funds for matching uniforms.

Not the case this year. Dunbar has purchased white shirts and black pants for students who did not have them. The money also is used for numerous lunches for students.

The final word comes from Dunbar Counselor Beth Wells:

"Your ministry has been such a blessing to us this year, and we are so very grateful to ya'll for your generosity and prayers. They are definitely felt."
