Change Your World

At Deeper, we don't believe in just sitting around being "Christian consumers."  Jesus commanded us to "GO into all the world..." and while we may not be able to get to every single person in the world, there are plenty of people in our own neighborhood that may not have met Jesus.  And what better introduction than serving in the community?  After all, it's like Jesus said, "When you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!"

Here are some ways to get involved and Change Your World!


Kurt's Bike

Goal

Kurt

This holiday season, we want to turn our focus away from ourselves, and how we can help others. This year, we want to help a single mother of triplets have a very, merry Christmas.

Kurt was born with cerebral palsy. Because of this, he is unable to do many of the things we take for granted as children. Running around and playing sports doesn’t come easy to him. With the help of his brother, AJ, and others, Kurt gets to play Buddy Ball. His mom, and brother and sister help him enjoy swimming in the pool and going to the beach. But the one thing he hasn’t been able to do yet, is go bike riding with AJ, and his sister, Kylie.

For a child like Kurt, buying a bicycle isn't as easy as heading to Walmart and spending somewhere around $100. To ride around the neighborhood, Kurt needs an adaptive tricycle. The cost of a bike for Kurt is about $1,800.

Kurt's Bike

This year, we want to help a 12 year old boy, be able to do what all 12 year olds should do... ride their bike. During this holiday season, we want to raise enough money for Kurt's bike. If 180 people give $10 each, we’d raise the $1,800 needed. Of course, whether you can give only $1 or $2, or if you can give $100, any gift can help us meet this goal.

To make things as easy as possible, you can give right online (credit card or check) through the Forest Lake Church HERE.  When you login, click on "Add More Offerings" check the box called "Kurt's Bike" and click "Add to Envelope" and you're all set.  100% of whatever you give goes right to Kurt's Bike!

Working together, we can make this dream come true, and help Kurt have more than just a happy holiday.
