Mt. Canaan Missionary Baptist Church "City of Refuge" Vacation Bible School campers put smiles on the faces of the residents at Tangi Pines Nursing Home. Their beautiful, colorful artwork brightened the residents' day, and many of the handmade cards included heartfelt words of encouragement.

Some of the campers may have grandparents or great-grandparents who reside in nursing home facilities, making this act of kindness even more meaningful. Through this simple yet powerful project, the campers learned the importance of showing compassion, thinking of others, and reaching out to those who may feel forgotten.

It was a wonderful lesson, one that extended far beyond arts and crafts. Caring for others in the midst of life's circumstances and chaos is a lifelong lesson. Acts of kindness, no matter how small, have the power to bring hope, encouragement, and a smile to someone's heart. Those are lessons these campers will carry with them for years to come.
