Camp and this is the 3rd year that we've done this. We're really excited about this just this event. It's just a great way to reach out to our community, both children and parents that live in this area and what we do is we for 5 nights we host a soccer camp where we teach soccer skills but really use that as the opportunity to just invest in these children's lives and just really put the gospel on display for them, show them the. Of Christ and teach them about who Jesus is.
And so last year we had over 100 kids. We're hoping for about 140 children this year and that includes a lot of their parents who stick around to watch the event. Some of those are Cornerstone kids as well, but we want to just put this before you because we're still in need of some volunteers and we've been talking about deaconing and serving over the last few weeks. This is an opportunity for you to deacon.
to serve, and there's a couple of ways you can do that. We're still in need of just general volunteers, so people to just come out and serve, just be hands willing to just do whatever we need to do, tear down, set up. and there's other specific ways you can serve by being a coach or an assistant coach, and you might say I don't have any idea how to play soccer or even coach it. Don't worry, we will teach you everything you need to know to, to, to be involved in these kids and, with these kids and it's really an opportunity not just to be a coach but to be a mentor and to just be one on the ground level with the children, just showing them the love of Jesus.
we have some opportunities to serve on the worship team as well as, in the hospitality area where we just really minister to the parents who, who stick around and watch, giving them stuff to snack on and drink. So there's a lot of ways to, to, to serve. There's going to be a meeting this Sunday right after, after this service, for those interested, and then also a meeting next week. You can attend either one....
