LOVE WEEK!

is happening

August 6-10, 2012 in Detroit

thanks to the 

Student Ministries Team of Northridge Church

Our very own Princess, Tracie Harris

reached out to The Echo Mission

for us to share her daughter Kaitlyn's request

for your support as she steps out on this mission!

Tracie and Kaitlyn

Here is Kaitlyn's message to you:

Hi Everyone! 

This summer I have the opportunity to participate in a daily, local outreach trip in the metro Detroit Area. It is called Love week and I will be with other students from Northridge Church. We will be showing God's love to the local community by serving, working, cleaning, painting, repairing, and sharing the gospel of Christ through our work! The dates of the trip are August 6th-10th.

This trip is being organized  through the Student Ministry Department at Northridge Church, where I have been attending for 8 years.

I would like for you to be involved with this experience and really appreciate your support. You can help me in two ways. The most important way you can support me is through prayer. Please pray for the team and I as we prepare for this trip, for safety and health of us all, success with the work projects and that the people we will be working for will see Christ in everything we do.

The second way you can support us is financially. 

The cost of this outreach trip is $160. 

Some of which I will earn. 

A contribution of $10, $25 or $50 

will help make a major difference. 

Any amount would be greatly appreciated 

and all can be tax deductible. 

Ask for that specific information if your'e interested.

Due to the nature of the trip all expenses must be paid in advance and would be due by August 5th. I decided to participate a little late, so the trip is coming up very quick! If you would like to support me we accept all forms of payment. 

My contact info is to my mom, Tracie Harris.  

You can reach her by email or telephone

fanciekid@hotmail.com ~ 734.891.7758 

Please remember your prayers are most important to me and greatly needed. Thank you in advance for your support and prayers and I look forward to sharing this experience with you when I return home.

Kaitlyn Elledge

By helping Kaitlyn reach her fundraising goal 

and spend a week of her young life serving her community, 

we are doing three amazing things

1. Helping a local area

One great focus of the Echo Mission is to serve locally in any way you can.  Kaitlyn is very excited to reach out to those people who are needing help RIGHT HERE!

2.  Growing Kaitlyn's faith

As a young and impressionable "tween", there is no greater gift you can give someone than that of opportunity and wholesome influence.  Kaitlyn is the perfect age to not only realize her own impact on the world but to also ACT!!

3.  Sharing God's Love

As is the main focus of The Echo Mission, Kaitlyn will be sharing the love of God with those she comes into contact with.  Something as simple as cleaning up a field, organizing food at a shelter, or just smiling at a stranger is enough to remind them of HOPE.

I pray you will consider 

sharing your prayers with Kaitlyn, 

and if it's possible, a small donation.  

She will forever be impacted by this upcoming week!

Help this gorgeous girl show some LOVE!!

2012 Memory Walk; walk to end Alzheimer's

Join The Princess Posse 
our team leader, Maegan Bartell,

and thousands of Michiganians 

this year for the 

Memory Walk; Walk To End Alzheimer's

Held at the Detroit Zoo on Saturday August 25, 2012

People of all ages will walk with one great purpose:

To raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer's.

courtesy of

If you are unaware of Alzheimer's, it is a debilitating disease that claims not only one's life, but their mental quality along the way.  Memory is lost, comprehension fades.. families and friends become strangers.  People change so drastically before the worst happens that it is difficult to keep up.  Just like all terminal illnesses, it takes its toll on the entire family.  

In raising this awareness, we can better serve the Alzheimer's-stricken members of our community and learn more about how to treat and prevent Alzheimer's in the future.
