On Wednesday night we helped Colleen and her team with the Metrokidz Ministry. It started at 6:45 and we played with the kids in the empty lot across the street and then cooked hot dogs and such for dinner. It was a fun night with lots of kids!
This morning our students split up into four groups and were sent out into the community to show random acts of kindness. One group of students baked cookies and made cards to encourage the officers and brought them for the local police department. The department was so appreciative of the students thoughtfulness that they gave them a tour of the police department.
On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday some of our students went to Samuel Morris Elementary School, this is the school that most of our VBS kids attend. Each day ten students helped paint two bathrooms and a classroom. The teachers and the students were extremely appreciative to see our students hard at work at their school!

It was so good to check in on your blog tonight & catch up on all you've been doing. It looks as though God has given you all an awesome week of experiences to learn & grow from. Can't wait to hear more details! Be safe... but remember that you're never safer than when you're in the center of God's will.
ReplyDeleteEric & Nick; we're just home from our [fantastic] week - and picked Meg up from camp this afternoon. She had a great week but has missed you both VERY much.

Thanks for the updates and the pictures! Love the pictures! Keep them coming! Love, Daddy & Mom
ReplyDeleteDear Danielle, It's not the same without you! We all miss you. I miss your "knockout" smile and sweet ways. I know you are working so hard and that the Lord sees all that all of you are doing for His kingdom. Pretty soon there will be a shower line here again, lots of phone calls and friends coming in and out . . . plenty of sleep for you...and joy for us have you back. 'Love you, Grandmother
