Contribution in ASF Kids

During the big group time in ASF Kids, the children learned about the importance of using their resources to help build God's kingdom and show His love. As a result, many of them were excited to bring their money and use their ASF Kids bucks to help with the Thanksgiving Food Collection and a later School Snack Collection for Peace Preparatory Academy. We matched their ASF Kids bucks with real money. Children and families also collected snacks during VBS week.

1,800 snacks were raised through the VBS snack drive.

“God wants us to help people and make them happy.”
— Peter Smith, 10 years old

Contributing to our Congregation

219 adults and youth regularly volunteered in our ministries this year.

50 youth volunteered at VBS Scuba.

“All Souls has such an incredible staff and community that always goes the extra mile. And just like any family, I feel it brings a greater feeling of unity working and serving together. I especially love seeing the kids, young and old, getting involved with serving.”
— Jenny Kennedy, Coffee Volunteer
“I believe that all members should serve in some capacity, and for me, Youth is a good fit as we have two kids that we hope are part of the ASF Youth programs for the foreseeable future. I enjoy the energy within the room and it’s nice seeing young people bond and interact without phones or screens.”
— Garin Narain, Youth Volunteer
“I had a great time this week at VBS, I loved being able to make connections with the kids and watch them grow in their relationships with Christ. VBS was well-organized and fun for both kids and volunteers!”
— Lynn Cone, 11th Grade, Decatur High School
