Your Cross

KIND — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 18:11:24 +0000

Here’s an interesting comic that has found it’s way to us through a series of emails….

Awesome!! We complain about the cross we bear but don’t realize it is preparing us for the dip in the road that God can see and we cannot.

Whatever your cross,
whatever your pain,
there will always be sunshine, after the rain…
Perhaps you may stumble, perhaps even fall;
But God’s always ready, to answer your call….
He knows every heartache, sees every tear,
a word from His lips, can calm every fear…
Your sorrows may linger, throughout the night,
But suddenly vanish, by dawn’s early light…
The Savior is waiting, somewhere above,
to give you His grace, and send you His love.

Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle!

After School Program

KIND — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 05:59:56 +0000

Our fall after school session grew to an attendance of 45-50 kids a day. We offer the children homework help, specialized tutoring, woodcarving, crafts, games, Bible study and life skills classes. The winter session we will be adding nutrition, health and exercise classes this session.

After their educational activities, the children are divided into age and skill level for group activities. These may include art projects, games, character lessons, reading time, Bible lessons, computers, and exercise. Before the children are transported home, KIND volunteers provide a nutritious meal, which is served family-style with staff and volunteers.

Our winter session will introduce a complete health and fitness program focusing on the physical, emotional and spiritual health of our kids. All Kids Can Learn tutoring service, Boonshoft Exhibits to go, the S.M.A.R.T. (science and math attracting ready talent) cooking program along with the Ohio State EFNEP (Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program) are just a few of the opportunities that we will offer our children as part of our commitment to giving opportunities to the children of east Dayton.

With everything we do for the kids it is the love, kindness and open ears and hearts for these young ones who we care about and for them all so very much.

Summer program

KIND — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 07:10:47 +0000

2009 saw the biggest and best summer program we have ever had at KIND. An avg. of 91 kids and teens joined us for activities that ranged from the arts to the parks and the true meaning of what it takes to be a “SUPER HERO“. Although funds were limited this year to the tough economic times it did not stop the KIND staff from giving it their all and then some. What we couldn’t afford we improvised on such as field trips. The staff found fun and exciting places to go that were inexpensive and still packed with fun and adventure. 2009 was definitely a summer to remember. We can’t wait till 2010

The 2010 Summer program will begin in early June with summer registrations beginning in April
