Okay, Math was never my strongest subject. But we’re having some things that just aren’t quite adding up. Summer JAM is completely full. We’ve got a wait-list of kids that’s in the double digits. And yet . . .
Summer is right around the corner. And we need help. As most of you know, we don’t “shut it down” in the summer. We’re a 52-weeks-a-year ministry. We’re looking for volunteers in three main areas (aside from VBS, which is always a HUGE need).
