COMMUNITY CRUSADER SERVICE HOURS OPPORTUNITY: 
Healing Hearts Giving Hope is a bereavement support group for parents who have lost a baby at birth or shortly thereafter. Family and friends of the parents who have suffered a loss usually attend the event with the parents.   This is Las Vegas' 28th annual Walk.  The Walk to Remember is a national Walk which is held in several cities throughout the month of October across the United States.  Healing Hearts Giving Hope is a non-profit organization under IRS code 501(c)3. This year the Walk to Remember is from 11 am to 1:30 pm on Saturday, October 6.   The event is held at the Children's Memorial Park located at 6601 W Gowan Road.  Set up will start at 9:30 am for the following:
  • Fill 150 balloons with helium 
  • Set up canopies
  • Set up tables - we will have 14 tables to be set up and plastic table cloths taped to them
  • Unpack storage bins full of craft supplies and place on the tables
  • Hang quilts on the cyclone fence (each year a new quilt is made and each family decorates a square for their baby) We bring out all of the previous year quilts as well to display on the fence
  • Face painting for the kids
  • Help the kids with decorating their small pumpkin with adhesive pumpkin decorating craft kits
  • Cut long pieces of ribbon and tie it to limbs on our "memorial" tree
  • Accept silent auction items from families as they arrive and complete a form with description of item, value, and donor's name.  
  • Greet the families at the greeting table and ask them to sign our guest book.  We use those addresses in the guest book for the Walk invitation mail out each year.
  • We have two piñatas filled with candy; one is for the children age 6 and under and the other is for the older ones.  The piñatas are tied to a tree branch and the kids line up for a chance to take a swing at the piñata. There will be goodie bags which will need to be passed out to the kids for their candy from the piñatas. 
We know some students can't stay for the entire event.  We totally understand their schedules may only allow set up or tear down which is fine - set up from 9:30 am to 11 am and tear down from 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm.  If some would like to stay for the whole event there will be plenty of food so they can feel free to help themselves.  For those students who would like to work with the kids and their activities it will be from 11:00 am - 1:30 pm.   We really need help with the kids and their activities so we can keep them occupied with the planned activities.
 We are always so thankful for the students' assistance.  The students may contact me at this email or by cell phone, 702.845.6526. (10/6)

DEVOTIONAL
Do What God Has Told You - Part 1
Noah did everything just as God commanded him. Genesis 6:22
Noah’s ark measured 300 cubits in length, 50 cubits in width, and 30 cubits in height. A cubit is the equivalent of 17.5 inches. That means the ark was the length of one and a half football fields. The internal volume of the ark was 1,518,750 cubic feet – the equivalent of around 350 buses. If the average animal was the size of a sheep, it had capacity for 125,000 animals. To put that into perspective, there are 21,600 animals from 700 different species at London Zoo. That means you could fit nearly six London Zoos on board Noah’s ark. And since it was the first boat ever built, it’s not like it came with an instruction manual. It was back-breaking work that required blood, sweat, and tears. And it took an incredible amount of faith to build the ark. Who builds a boat in the desert? Who hammers away for 120 years on something they might not even need? Who banks their entire future on something that has never happened before? According to Jewish tradition, Noah didn’t just start building the ark. He planted trees first. After they were fully grown, he cut down the trees, sawed them into planks, and built the boat. And here’s an interesting piece of information: not until the late nineteenth century did a ship that size get constructed again. Yet that design ratio is still considered the golden mean for stability during storms at sea. Noah’s act of obedience literally changed the world – and obedience will change your world too. So do what God has told you to do.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, help me be obedient to what You have placed in front of me so that You can make a difference through me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
