Do you remember when you were young and how special it was to get mail? It was a reminder that someone was thinking of you and that you meant a lot to them.
WMU is launching a Pen Pal Project to help our children feel encouraged and reminded that they are special to us. Would you be Pen pal for 1 or 2 children in our church? Here's how it works:
1. Pray about this opportunity to be a friend to a young person.
2. Contact Cheryl Beck at cheryl_beck @ncsu.eduor 828-369-6909 to sign up to participate. At that time, you can request a child or you will be paired with a child. Sign up to participate. At that time, you can request a child or you will be paired with a child.
3. Then, a couple of times a month, send a letter or card to your friend in the care of Sylva First Baptist Church, 669 W. Main Street, Sylva, NC 28779. Hopefully, you'll hear from them, too.
4. We'd like to keep up the correspondence through May. Perhaps you'll want to keep up this Pen Pal friendship long past that time. It's up to you!
I hope you will see this as a chance to help our young people during this difficult time. Thank you!
