Today the team went to serve at Monroe Circle Community Center (MC3). LeRoy King and Lavon Kil led us as we helped clean and detail clean the entire facility that serves families of all ages, offers meals, GED programs, kids programs, and MUCH MORE! It was really cool to be able to see immediate results when going from seeing something that is completely dirty to seeing something that is completely clean. Such as a chair...with crumbs on the seat...sticky messes on the frames...all clean and shiny after one of our students got a hold of it...that might be used to seat a member of MC3 during their weekly gathering.
You should be REALLY proud of these students, because they not only cleaned, but went above and beyond to leave the place spectacular. It is amazing to see this team giving their all and serving with excellence, because that is exactly what God deserves!!!
In the afternoon, we got to spend a few hours hanging out with the kids in the community. We played soccer, threw footballs and frisbees, and LOTS of face painting (be sure check out all the pictures on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram).
After working and playing so hard all day, our team took a fun trip to Warren Dunes! We had an awesome cookout with hot dogs and s'mores, did our team debrief on the beach behind a beautiful sunset, and spent some quality time hanging out together!
What an awesome day! Tomorrow is too good to waste today, so we're all headed to bed to rest up for another work day. Goodnight for now!
Way to go Move team, I am so proud of you! All the smiling faces in your pictures show that you are serving from your heart. Thanks for giving up part of your summer to help others see the love of Jesus. You are making a difference in our community!

Sounds like you had a full day of cleaning! "Proud" doesn't seem a strong enough word for how we feel about what you kids are doing. I'm sure all of the kids you got to spend some time with yesterday were thankful for you, too.
ReplyDeleteWe are enjoying all of the pictures! Thank you for those.
I really want to know how many hot dogs Shelby ate last night and if she converted you all in to anti hot dog lovers, too? I'll bet she offered to show you the YouTube video of how they're made :)
We miss the Hartzell girls, but are so proud of both of you!
Thanks for the great report of what sounded like an amazing Friday for the Move Team. You guys are doing important work, bringing a lift to some great organizations.
ReplyDeleteCan't believe it's your last full day already. Looks like a beautiful one! Here is a little encouragement as you approach the big finish to your mission ...
Galatians 6:9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
Someone hug Madi for me!

Delighted to hear it is going so well. You are all in our prayers...and another good Bible verse is Heb. 6:10. God works in unique ways through all you willing helpers. Thankyou for your service hearts. Love to all, and hugs to Madi.
