Joyner Elementary Partnership

To all Life Journey Groups:

Lawndale is embarking on an exciting new adventure by partnering this year with Joyner Elementary School. Joyner is a community school seeking to meet the needs of families and students. A leadership team was formed last spring and has been meeting with the school staff in preparation for the coming year. We will be offering opportunities for our church members to serve as mentors, class room readers, lunch and breakfast buddies, assistants with landscaping and grounds improvements, along with many other areas to support, encourage, and assist the students and staff. You will be hearing more about the plans and events that are underway in the coming weeks. The immediate needs is supplies for the students and teachers.

Individual Life Journey Groups have been given a list of specific items to provide for the students for the beginning of the school year. We would like for each class to bring the items on your list back next Sunday. There will be a place in the foyer of the Worship Center to drop them off. If you have any questions about this collection or about the Joyner Partnership, please contact Bonnie Edenfield at bonnieedenfield@bellsouth.net or call 856-9622. There will be many areas for individuals and Life Journey Groups to get involved at different levels of ministry at Joyner as we move forward in this partnership.
