According to the founder of Helping Hands, Chris Sessoms, the goal of the organiza- tion is, “To keep our hearts open to the needs of our First Responders and to help all of them know they are loved by Sampson County and we appreciate all they do for us.” The group has supported law enforcement, first responders, Sampson Regional Hospital employees, teachers, etc. Many of you have seen the “Back the Blue” bill- boards across the county. They are currently partnering with the Child Advocacy Center to help raise much needed funds and supplies.

Ms. Sessoms said 196 letters were sent out to churches in the community asking for a love offering and prayers for CAC. “We started asking different agencies and individual groups to help us collect items the agency needed. They desperately need people to help with fund raising so they are not faced with this situation again. The entire Helping Hands of Sampson County committee, everyone has really worked hard to make this happen, from addressing envelopes, sending emails, making phone calls and putting out our new signs!! I believe we have a wonderful committee of people with huge hearts.”

The CAC and Helping Hands has been truly blessed by the outpouring of support from the local churches and community with monetary donations and supplies. Over the last couple of months CAC and Helping Hands has also partnered with Quilts for Kids based out of Pennsylvania, who sent quilts for the children to keep them warm and help to make the experience less frightening. Volunteer quilters lov- ingly transform fabric into patchwork quilts that comfort children in need.

Another important partner has been Phillip’s Love Bears out of Dunn, NC. This organization gave a donation of fluffy bears to also help ease the pain of young children when in need. According to Mr. Fusco, “Phillip’s Love Bears and Phil- lip’s Therapy Bears provide quality Teddy Bears to Christian workers at home and abroad, to assist them in sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Phillip’s Love Bears also gives the special needs community (and others, outside the special needs com- munity) the opportunity to serve Christ by helping stuff and prepare our teddy bears for mission. Though we are but a single strand in God’s magnificent tapestry, we cherish the opportunity to serve the hands that so faithfully serve Christ.”

Mr. Fusco’s son Phillip was the founder of the organization and it is an awesome story of helping others: “Soon after his birth, Phillip was diagnosed with a rare ge- netic disorder known as Prader-Willi Syndrome, a partial deletion of the 15th chro- mosome. Phillip spent the first months of his life in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Duke Medical Center. Several months after his birth, Phillip coded, requiring medical intervention to keep him alive.

I just wanted to see what you would do if I gave you too much change. I’ll see you at church Sunday.” When the preacher stepped off the bus, he literally grabbed the nearest light pole, held on, and said, “Oh God, I almost sold your Son for a quarter.”

Pierce Otis Sues the County Matthew 6:24, “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.”

Season 5, episode 15 of The Andy Griffith Show, entitled Otis sues the county, is a prime example of the danger of being a slave to money. The beloved town drunk in Mayberry, Otis T. Campbell, slips on the floor while exiting his jail cell. Deputy Barney Fife insists that Otis fills out an accident report even though Otis tells him that he has always had trouble with his knee. The accident report needs to be notarized and off to Mount Pilot Otis goes to please his friend Barney.

Once Otis goes to a lawyer to get his statement notarized, the shady law- yer suggests that Otis sue the County for $5,000. Needless to say, this doesn’t sit well with Mayberry’s law enforcement officers. Thankfully, by the end of this episode the truth is revealed and Otis cherishes his friends more than the chance for a quick gain.

If we attempt to serve two masters we will have divided allegiances and when the difficulties of discipleship clash with the enticement of fleshly pleasure, the magnetic pull of wealth and worldly success will draw us away from Christ.

One example of that is in 2 Timothy 4:10, “for Demas, because he loved this world, has deserted me and has gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia.” A homeless man could be guilty of loving a few dollars more than his creator. It’s not a certain dollar amount that draws us away from our devotion to God. OPEN DOOR MINISTRY The call to godliness goes against our sinful nature. Only with the help of the Holy Spirit can we remain devoted to one Master. Proverbs 15:27, “Whoever is greedy for unjust gain troubles his own household, but he who hates bribes will live.” I have witnessed many individuals rush to the convenience store to purchase lottery tickets in hopes of getting rich. “For I Know The Plans Throwing away a bulk of their paycheck only to leave the store with I Have For You, excuses of why next time they will get the winning numbers. Many Declares The Lord, of those people would probably be miserable with the headaches that a Plans To Prosper You large amount of money would bring. And Not To Harm You, Plans To Give You Hope And A Future.” It is the love of money, and not money itself, that is the problem. The love of money is a sin because it gets in the way of worshiping God. 1 JEREMIAH 29:11 Timothy 6:9–10, “But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.”

Schools compete in the Challenge with schools of similar size and type, with winners earn- ing a $500 grant in each of the following categories:

-Highest percentage of completed FAFSAs -Highest percent increase in FAFSA completion rate -Best FAFSA completion strategy

The Challenge will conclude on June 30th, 2021 with winners announced by July 31st, 2021. Schools can keep track of their progress with the NC First in FAFSA Tracker to iden- tify specific areas of need and create targeted efforts to increase attainment. Final FAFSA completion rates are calculated using FAFSA completion data from the U.S. Department of Education and final high school graduation counts from NC DPI.

Currently, Cooperative Innovative High Schools (CIHS) are not listed in the Leaderboard for data limitation reasons. CIHS schools include an array of graduating seniors by grade level which makes it challenging to calculate the true FAFSA completion rate for these schools. Updates to the leaderboard are made on the second Tuesday of each month. Winners will be announced in Summer 2021.
