Congratulations!

We are very excited to honor the Village Oaks kids for their MANY academic achievements last school year.  Great job!  Let's cary this in to the new school year!

Village Oaks B-Ball Camp

Recently, we made a new friend: the great Winston!

Winston moved in to Village Oaks and agreed to help out Jayda in the Kids Club.  Winston is about 6' 4, and an incredible basketball player.  Each evening, Winston would hit the Village Oaks basketball court for a shoot around.  Being so tall with a great shot, and the ability to dunk, he drew a crowd quickly.  After a few days, there were plenty of kids to join him.

So, Winston took it upon himself to teach the kids how to shoot a basketball, how to dribble, and how to pass.  The kids had a blast!

Thank you, Winston!

July 4 Celebration!

We had the third annual July 4 Celebration at Willow Pond this year!  The basketball tournament was a blast, and the food was tasty!

In With The New!

I have a special place in my heart for this elderly gentleman that's lived at VO for over 20 years. His name is Mr. Eddie Wilson.  Yes, Mr. Wilson sells sodas and ice cream out of his apartment, but sodas and ice cream never hurt anybody. The children love him for it. He automatically adopts mostly every child that comes to buy from him as his God-child.  "Mr. Eddie" is known and loved property-wide.

The other day, I finally got Mr. Eddie a new couch. He has been using a really old couch for a long time (pictured above), and I knew we could help improve his situation. It only took me a year to do it, but I'm learning that it's never about my time schedule, but the Lord's. Jesus is always right on time.

I just want to say thank you to Sherwood and Anthony for stepping up to help move out the old and move in the new in 105 degree weather. Mr. Wilson was so happy. He sat down, crossed his legs and said, "I don't think I wanna get up from here anytime soon."
