This year, students who took part in Vacation Bible School at Mount Calvary Baptist Church decided their mission project and the money raised would stay right here at home. More than 80 kids from this small church in Whitwell, Tenn., got creative and raised more than $1,000 for Children's Hospital at Erlanger.

In a letter the kids sent to hospital staff, they expressed how thankful our community is to have a group of caring doctors and nurses who love children. One student said, "We realize that when people give to others, God gives to them."

What a lesson we can all take to heart!
