TENTH ANNUAL
Book Carnival On Saturday, June 1, we held our tenth annual Book Carnival! A decade ago, we started this ministry with the goal of ministering to people living within a mile of our church and to get books into the hands of children for summer reading. We also wanted our community to know we are here to serve them. Each family receives a prayer patch so they know we are praying for them and we also include information about our various ministries with families so they can join us in ministry. This year

we had over 10,000 books to give to children in our church and community!
This fantastic ministry would not be possible without the help of our many volunteers, who help set up and take down the Book Carnival, place book plates in thousands of books, help serve hot dogs and sno-cones, and donate new and gently used books. A huge thank you goes out to everyone who donated their time and talents!
