The youth of Huntingtown United Methodist Church presented Calvert County Sheriff Mike Evans with 20 bears they made for a "Bearing Burden" mission project. They were accompanied by Sheila Isaacson, Youth Director at the church. The youngsters raised funds through a dinner theatre performance in early December by the youth drama team, then traveled to the Build-A-Bear store in Annapolis where they built the bears. The hope of the mission is that "every child who receives one of the bears will know the love of Jesus Christ and that they are not alone to face their situation, whatever it may be, and they are cared for by others in our community." The Sheriff's Office will give a bear to comfort any child who is the victim, directly or indirectly, of an incident that may bring them in contact with a deputy.
