October 8, 2014 (Mt. Airy, NC) ─ Every month on the second Saturday, members of the Brims Grove Baptist Church’s Children in Action group volunteer to help with bingo at Twelve Oaks, a DePaul Senior Living Community in Mt. Airy.

Pictured here, Twelve Oaks residents Iva Scott and Faye Bryant pose with the Children in Action volunteers (front row, left to right) Reece, Chloe, Samera, Kyia, (back row, left to right) McKenzie, Abigail, Kiara, Jan, Sidney, Miranda and group leader Wanda Bowman.

Jim Vogler said the members of Children in Action are in grades 3rd through 6th.

“The seniors love to spend time with the kids,” said Vogler. “Kids now days are a lot different than when I was growing up. There are so many things that keep them indoors – computers, Facebook, the internet – this is a good opportunity for them to outreach. Hopefully they’ll continue to volunteer as adults.”
