Pumpkin Patch

One of our former Shining Light families, the Cooks, have a foundation called Cooper Trooper which helps families dealing with childhood cancer.  They not only help raise money for cancer research, but they also make sibling packs for those children who sometimes get lost in the chaos when a brother or sister is diagnosed with cancer.  Shining Light was part of that journey with them when Cooper was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer.  We are so happy that he is now a healthy rambunctious little boy!

Each year the Cooks have done the Cooper Trooper Foundation Pumpkin Patch.  You've seen it; it's located in front of the Walgreens on Mallory Station Road - across from Jack in the Box and Lowes.

The Pumpkin Patch is staffed completely by volunteers, and they are in desperate need of some help over the next few weeks.  Most of their available times are during the day when Shining Light teachers are working.  However, if any of you could spare a couple of hours one day, would you please consider giving of your time? Perhaps several of you from one class could volunteer a few hours to not only help a great cause but get to know each other a little better also.

The link to volunteer is:  http://tiny.cc/PumpkinPatchVolunteer2012 - Missy and Rod Cook are our dear friends in need of volunteers.  Colby and Cooper are Shining Light alumni.  They along with brother Carson would greatly appreciate any help that you can give!

If you have any questions about the organization or how you can help, please e-mail me at shininglight@franklinchristianchurch.com.  

THANKS SO MUCH!
