August YesWeServe Happenings

On a hunch we stopped by Mision Frontera on our “Missionary for a Day” trip to Mexicali last Saturday.  A change in leadership had left the Home empty over the summer, so it was a pleasant surprise to find that it is up and running again!  New people have come in to lead the Childrens Home, and we were very happy to meet Claudia, the new person in charge.

It is always so encouraging to spend this time with the children, and particularly when we can join them at the waterpark for a few hours’ respite from the heat.

That was our first YesWeServe event this month, and here are two more, both of which we are excited about: 

Our second event this month will be taking place on Saturday 11 August; YARDSALE!  After our initial attempt rained out in March, we will now do an even better yardsale in the gym at Grace UMC (on the NE corner of Junipero and Third street in Long Beach, CA).  Interest has already prompted us to move the opening to 7 a.m.  We still need your help to “man” tables, help with ticket sales, assist at the food station, etc.  Please email me back or call us at (562-234-7378) to let me know that you will be helping out to do your part to make this yardsale a success : )

Remember that the proceeds from the Yardsale will benefit YesWeServe’s ministries; S.T.A.R.T.S., Mexicali, Ghana, India.

The third YesWeServe event will take place NEXT Saturday, 18 August.  The Royal Cup Café, on the SE corner of Redondo and 10.th Street in Long Beach, CA, is the venue for a mini YesWeServe concert.  This new feature will take place the third Saturday of every month, at 6:30 p.m. till 9:30 p.m. 

We will have a rotation of musical artists, highlight YesWeServe’s ministry and invite attendants to support/get involved. 

To kick off this series is MARCUS GERAKOS, who will thrill you with his guitar music!  Many of you have heard Marcus play already; he is part of the original “YesWeServe Band”, he features prominently on our CD “For the Children” where he composed and performed two of the cuts.

So, make your way to The Royal Cup Café on Saturday night, make a date night out of it, have a cup of tea or coffee and some sandwiches, listen to beautiful music, and support a great cause!
