Heritage Baptist Partners with Pinch Elementary School
		Kids Hope is a nationally recognized program that works exclusively through local churches, teaching them to engage their own members in one-on-one relationships with at-risk public elementary school children.  Heritage Baptist Church has partnered with Pinch Elementary School to train and provide mentors to meet with one child, one hour per week during the school's calender year to build relationships focused on the child's emotional, social, and academic needs.  These relationships are supported by a behind the scenes "prayer partner" that prays exclusively for this relationship.   Schools in 27 states have embraced this program and our participating  church members have been blessed as they make a difference in the lives of the child the mentor. New Mentors are needed immediately for the 2009-2010 school year!  More info will follow in the weeks to come!
	You and your church can be a part of Kids Hope too!   The truth is, there are MANY local elementary schools that are currently VERY interested in this program and would love to partner with a church in their community.  The need IS there, and churches ARE needed to fullfill that need and show christ-like love to children.  It will bless those children  immensly, but it will bless your heart as well.   For more information on the organization: you can click on the emblem above, or call April at 304-543-7357
