October 9 - Welcoming Guests

Today we had several different guests visit KWTS!  The first was Tim from Thrivent who gave a presentation about money management.  Part of KWTS is learning about Christian stewardship and financial responsibility.  We promote the concept of 10-10-80.  For kids, 10% of the money they earn should be tithed to the church.  They learn that because God has given to them, they should give back to the church.  Another 10% is available as spending money.  The last 80% should be saved, either in a financial institution or at home.  This money can be used in the future for school fees, fun outings with friends, or even for college.  Tim helped promote these categories by giving out piggy banks from Thrivent with three categories: spend, save, and share. 


The second group of guests were students from UW-Milwaukee filming a documentary!  They were here during the church work day and wanted to learn more about our community garden.  Check back in the future for more information about their film. 

It was a great day for them to join us because we had an abundant harvest, despite the fact that the growing season is almost over.  We were able to get a lot of green tomatoes, ripe cherry and pear tomatoes, and even a few cantaloupe. 




We don’t have any recipes to share with you this week because we’re saving all the great food for next week!  Look back this Thursday for all of our Treat-or-Treat recipes: food that has an unexpected, yet delicious secret ingredient.
