Foster Care Emphasis “111 Project” – Sunday, May 20

editor — Wed, 16 May 2012 16:12:33 +0000

On January 1, 2012 there were 8308 children who, through no fault of their own, were in the custody of the Oklahoma Department of Human Services (OKDHS). The families of these children are not able to care for them due to incarceration, extreme poverty, physical abuse, drug abuse, neglect or abandonment. The 111 Project is a campaign to recruit foster families from Oklahoma churches to meet this need. The purpose is to leave no Oklahoma child without a family. On Sunday, May 20th, the Cedar Ridge family will be challenged to step up and make a difference in the lives of Oklahoma children. You won’t want to miss this important Sunday.

Vacation Bible School June 4-7 at Sapulpa Campus

editor — Thu, 03 May 2012 18:00:09 +0000

Online registration is now open for Vacation Bible School 2012 – “Babylon: Daniel’s Courage in Captivity“.

Daniel was way more than the guy who survived a den of hungry lions! Travel back to Babylon and join Daniel–torn from his home and forced into the king’s service. Imagine the pressure of learning a new language and culture…and the shock of discovering your best friends have been tossed into a fiery furnace. Kids will find that they’re not much different from Daniel and his friends, who kept their faith in a faithless culture.

When: Monday – Thursday, June 4 – 7
Time: Each evening from 6:15 – 7:45 p.m.
Who: All children going into K-5th grade this fall
Where: Cedar Ridge Christian Church – Sapulpa Campus

Volunteers are needed for all week or for just one night. Sign up on Sunday’s Bulletin Communication Card or contact Kelly Bruce to volunteer or for more information.

$2 a Day Challenge: Oct 31-Nov 6

admin — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 14:00:25 +0000

What is it and Why Do We Need to Do it?

Starting Monday, October 31, and ending on Sunday, November 6, Cedar Ridge attenders will be challenged to eat on less than $2 a day. 20% of the world lives in poverty and nearly half of the world’s population lives on less than $2 a day: two dollars a day for food, housing, school, transportation, medical emergencies, and all other expenses. The $2 a Day Challenge invites you to experience a little of what life is like by eating on less than two dollars a day for one week.

Journal throughout the experience, and at the end of the week, come together with your small group to share what you have learned, what questions have been raised, what you struggled with, and how you felt about the challenge.

The Challenge Has Three Simple Rules:

Spend only $2 per day per person on all food and drinks.
Only eat what you buy during the week of the challenge – no stocking up the week before!
If you spend more than $2 one day, deduct the amount you went over from the next day’s expenses.

Eating basic food like pasta, rice, eggs, potatoes, and beans can help you meet the challenge. Buying in mass quantities or exchanging meals with friends – just be sure to subtract the total you spend on bulk purchase from the rest of the week’s spending.
