21 Days Till SPY! (Service Project Youth)
Did you know that several of our Fieldstone
Youth volunteer to work SPY! all summer?
This year marks the first year of an official FS intern
program. In the past, we allowed our youth to help out in an unofficial
and sometimes unorganized manner. These interns are assigned to a
ministry and placed in a mentor relationship with one of our summer
interns. They are asked to keep daily journals and work through the
"Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens". Special meetings and activities
are organized by our SPY intern responsible for our Jr intern
programs. All of our FS interns are given the opportunity to
experience servant leadership in not only their ministry areas, but in all
facets of SPY!

42 Days Till SPY (Summer Project Youth)
This summer we will complete our 100th
Project!!! (week of june 13-19th)
Hard to believe that we have come this far. We have
done it all, from back yard clean up to a sixty foot bridge across a ravine so
an ambulance could get through...
from exterior painting to bathroom resurrection, from
drywall to roofing, from shelving to leveling the foundation. Over 100
families have been allowed us to come in and be a part of their lives.
Here is to the next 100!!!! (watch
for more news on #100... there is going to be a party!)
35 Days Till SPY (Summer Project Youth)
At Fieldstone we seldom sit still when the Spirit calls.
Last year we started our puppet ministry outreach program to
children in the community.
This summer we are starting a Children's outreach center
(summer camp)
We have an intern to help us develop this new outreach
of SPY.
The short explanation: 1. not everyone wants to swing
a hammer 2. A lot of the homes we go into have young children 3. we have
the manpower and the space
4. children love gardens 5. we have a new indoor
playground 6. we love children.......
We are starting small and seeing where God leads
us. We could use your help?!
Children's camp to start this summer

Now that you are excited about SPY!... how can you get
involved?
"How do I love (need) you, let me count the
ways..."
SPY! would net exist if not for the FS volunteers!
Here is the list... of some of the ways. (you may
think of a way to help we have not even dreamed of)
