NorthPoint Returns to Central

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

NorthPoint Christian Church deeply invested in the CISNT Saturday Connections program at Central Elementary school last year.  Returning this school year, NP volunteers are a vital part of the CISNT Connections program success at Central Elementary.

NP volunteers and CISNT staff recently took our Connections students to the Lewisville Central Fire Station for a tour.  What a great experience for our students!

Pinewood Hills Seniors Connect

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

It’s great to see people make their first connection and find out how easy it is to help kids who are at-risk of dropping out of school.  Last week our dear friends from Pinewood Hills retirement community came out to our Saturday “Connections” mentoring program at Hedrick Elementary School in Lewisville.

In only a few minutes, two very different generations were building relationships.  It’s relationships that really make the difference.  It’s so simple.  It’s so powerful. The seniors really connected with the kids and the kids really loved meeting the seniors.

 On October 31st, the friendships formed will be renewed when Connections students visit the seniors at Pinewood Hills for a fun afternoon of decorating bags and going “trick or treating” to the guests of Pinewood Hills.
