April Showers brings us...Opportunities!

Rain down on me

Blessings on blessings and blessed to be a blessing. James 1:17

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.

We pray the blessings of the Lord rain down on you!

We have been on the move and enjoying the weather.

The season is near! Tornado season...and the constant change in the wind and temperature. April showers brings May flowers, and storms are a-coming.

Here are some things to take into consideration:

Sign up for weather alerts that provide notifications through text messages, emails, and/ or vibrations. Did you know that weather alert radios can provide real time weather updates with vibrating and flashing lights alerts? It’s crucial to have a safety plan in place, especially for tornadoes. What and where would be your safest shelter? Have a safety network in place. This could be neighbors, family, friends, or caregivers.

Our DeafBlind community here at SHEP has been growing. Oh happy day!

Speaking of Happy Day, our camp registration has opened. Camp will be in October, so it’s a hop, skip, and jump away. We have already received registration forms! How exciting! One common question has been the rooming and roommate situation. On your form, please fill it out completely with your requests. We are still gathering information about rooming. We will have a better idea when we get a little closer to the date. Cassandra, our president, and Jeri of Jeri’s House, will be taking another trip to the campsite and will have a better idea of how we will assign rooms between the DB and the SSPs/observers. We’ve already designed the camp shirts, taking inventory, and putting together the goodie bags. If you’ve ever been to one of our hosted camps, you know you’re in for quite a treat!
