First Presbyterian Church started a new mission project by joning Kid's Hope. We now have 25 members involved in mentoring 2nd grade students at Southview Elementary chool. Carrie Jo Miller is our Coordinator for this project.

Our nine mentors began working with their second grade students the week of Jan. 20. We have six substitute mentors and nine prayer partners to support the mentors and children, but we also ask for prayers from all of you. Please pray for happy matches between mentor and child and a helping friendship between the two.
