Why I support the Capital Campaign The multi-purpose building would not only help our church, but the community also. The youth would be able to do more, and the adults would be able to meet there if something were to happen. This build- ing will also show the community that we’re expanding, and it would urge people to join. St. Thomas has accumulated a lot more kids for the Youth Group. This has impacted the church because of what they do and the support they work for. Eva Z. St. Thomas Youth Recently SVdP was able to help a young family. This family was staying at GSM and called us for help. The family, mom, dad, and 2 young children had lived in Huntsville about a year. When they moved here from Detroit, they hoped for a better life. It started well with a job and hous- ing. Then the father lost his job. They were staying in Good Shepherd Mission. It was winter and the weather was cold. They had talked to their family in Detroit. The family was not able to help them with the airfare, but was anxious to have them back in Detroit, where they could help. They called SVdP to see if there was anyway we could help them get back to family in Detroit. The SVdP team feared it would be expensive to pay for airfare, but after listening to the couple decided to research flights. They were able to find one-way tickets for $83.30 each. The two children were under 2. We needed 3 tickets and the Holy Spirit definitely guided them through the entire journey. Flights were affordable. Next challenge, the weather. GSM provided suitcases and found a couple who could drive them to the airport. They gave the couple money for gas to drive the family to the airport. We gave them money to cover the extra suit- cases because the flight was so cheap. The team provided a listening ear and care and concern for their needs. The family had a phone which was not connected, but they were able to keep in touch by texting using WiFi. This really came in handy as several glitches came up. Mainly, the weather. The weather was worse in Detroit, air- ports were iced and flights were cancelled. GSM provided money for the friend’s gas to take them to the airport. The weather became bad, and to ensure that they got on the plane (after numerous cancellations), we put them up at an airport hotel which turned out to be a great idea by the team. Their original flight was cancelled and they had to be available to catch the next available flight. We were able to provide snacks for the children and parents at the airport. Several members were aware of the situation and cheers and thanksgiving for our answered prayer went up when we were texted that they were on the plane and on their way. The family was extremely grateful for our assistance and called to let us know they were home. Our SVdP team spent about 2 weeks ensuring that they could get home. The spiritual journey we all experienced, knowing that God was present throughout this experience. Working with our friends is an extremely rewarding vocation. SVdP is not limited to financial assistance. We offer prayers, understanding, resources and caring, with God at our side. Meeting our friends where they are enables us to learn more about their situation and poverty. Walker County has 25% plus poverty. We are reaching out to you. We need devoted people to assist in this spiritual endeavor. If you are interested, please contact Kathy Price, 936-662- 4295, or contact any member. The love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit.— Romans 5:5b Kathy Boscarino, DRE/YM [email protected] (936) 295-8159 (936) 520-6524 Www.sainthomashuntsville.org 7th –12th grades Recent surveys tells us that children as young as 13 are leaving the church and never coming Wanna help our back.
