Lincoln Daily News
welcomes letters of appreciation, information and
opinion on matters pertaining to the community.
Controversial issues:
As a
community we need to be able to talk openly about
matters that affect the quality of our lives. The
most effective and least offensive manner to get
your point across is to stick to the issue
and refrain from commenting on another person's
opinion. Letters that deviate from focusing on the
issue may be rejected or edited and marked as such.

To the Editor:
We would like to publicly Praise CREW (Christians, Ready, Equipped,
Willing) at Open Arms.
Although Open Arms is not our home church, they have accepted our
son with open arms every Wednesday night for the past five years. As
he approaches the age limit for the program, we would like to
express our appreciation to the church, especially the volunteers
who generously sacrifice their time each week to be there for the
children.
Over the past five years, our son has always looked forward to
Wednesday nights. Through this program he has learned how not only
to become a good Christian but also how to grow into a better young
adult. He has made memories and formed friendships that we believe
will last a lifetime.
[to top of second column in this letter] |
We encourage other parents to enroll
their children into this program. Open Arms also offers a program for girls on
the same evenings at the same time. This experience has benefited our son in
more ways than we can express in this letter. We know he feels the same way and
will cherish the time he spent surrounded by such a positive group of people.
As parents, we sincerely thank everyone involved for their kindness and
commitment to making this program possible week in and week out.
Sincerely,
The Lerchers
