Busy Summer Activities
The summer has gone by so fast! The kids have had some incredible opportunities this summer. Justin and Heidi are part of our church's student choir. This year the group went on choir tour to Indianapolis, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and New York City. Choir tour gives them opportunity to sing at different churches and events but they also do outreach work. They had the opportunity to participate with Rock the Block Teen Challenge outreach in Queens. See more at http://www.rocktheblock.org/ They had an amazing time getting to know the staff and working together on the outreach. Along with singing and ministry they took some time to have fun and sightsee. They got to see Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia. In New York, they saw the Statue of Liberty, Ground Zero/Twin Towers, Trinity Church (National Treasure ), Central Park and prayed in Times Square. I'll try and upload a few pics.
Beth went to the National Home School Alumni Reunion in Kentucky. This year she was the sole representative of the Cardoza family. She carpooled with friends and had a good time. Earlier in the summer she was a counselor at Camp David of the Ozarks which provides summer camps for children of inmates. She had a great bunch of girls to work with and had a good week.
Kimberly's summer consisted of Stained Glass Theatre, health issues and surgery. She had her gallbladder removed on the 8th of August. It was an outpatient surgery so she was home Friday night. She came through it well and is still recovering.
In March, Justin competed at the Assemblies of God District Fine Arts Competition. He received invitation to go to Nationals in three categories, Human Video Group, Large; Songwriting; and Graphic Design. The National Fine Arts Festival was just last week in Charlotte, North Carolina. He went with a group of students from our church and they had a great time. Just to participate on the National level means that the students ranked in the top 10% in the nation. Justin ranked Superior in all of his entries. We're proud of him. |
