As we come to the closing of the Upward '08-'09 season, we want to say Thank you for a job well done.  Thank you for the time that you have given to the Upward Ministry to change children’s lives for Christ.  Thank you for all the sacrifices that you have made to make a difference  in the life of a child, a family, a church, a community and someone you don’t even know.  All the time you have given is greatly appreciated and has not gone unnoticed.  You helped make this Upward Ministry a success by all that you have done.  You have not only taught children the game of basketball or the sport of cheerleading but you have shown these children the love of Christ and taught them the qualities they need to be successful in life. The seeds have been planted for the future and decisions have been made for Christ  - you have helped do this.  So we again say thank you, “job well done you good and faithful servant.”

Love in Christ,

The Upward Staff
