Community Renewal Birthday Party

Our Sunday School class has decided to adopt the Friendship House in the Allendale neighborhood of Shreveport.  We are going to coordinate and implement the birthday party at the house each month.  This month was the Lewis family's turn to host.  Since there were 2 boys who had March birthdays...we did it all sports themed.  The kids just really loved it.  All the other kids kept coming up to us telling us when their birthdays were and the things they liked.

It was a lot of fun to host this party, but it was sad in so many ways.  You could just tell that these kids wanted SOMEONE to pay attention to them.  They just wanted someone to look at them, give a hug, or watch them slide.  Most wanted me to take their pictures.  We will certainly be back next month for the April kiddos!

Bennett had a blast with the kids!

Happy Birthday!

They were so excited to enjoy pizza (sent by the Price's), ice cream, and cupcakes!

Kevin hugged the box the scooter was in!

I hope we can form a relationship with these kids because you can really tell that they need it!
