Ponce Inlet Microchurch Sponsors 4th Annual Afternoon Tea

Northland's Ponce Inlet Microchurch just hosted their 4th Annual Afternoon Tea, sponsoring The Chiles Academy here in Daytona Beach. The school itself is a Volusia County Charter High School and has a 501c3 designation.

The Chiles Academy’s mission is to combine a community of support and guidance for pregnant and parenting students with the goal of attaining a high school diploma. Donna Leonardo and I went on a campus tour and this school is truly inspiring. The Chiles Academy strives to empower their students to become independent and responsible citizens and you can see that in every hallway and classroom throughout the school.

Through our Afternoon Tea, with the help of many local businesses, and our friends and neighbors here in Harbour Village, we were able to raise very close to $3,000 in cash as well as two car loads of baby items, clothes and school supplies. We had a strong turnout from our local community and the Ponce Inlet Mayor, Lois Paritsky, and the Daytona Beach Shores Mayor, Nancy Miller were also in attendance as our guests.

The school was overwhelmed with the love and support that they received from our group. The administration has graciously invited us to their graduation ceremony and several of our Micro Church members will be in attendance.

Northland gathers in Ponce Inlet Sundays at 9 a.m. Contact Joe for details.
