Our Mission Trip to Pawhuska, Oklahoma was great. We had an awesome week serving the Osage Nation. Students did ministries like: kids club, sports camp, nursing home, feeding kitchen, lawn work, clothes closet, painting, and more. Therefore we’re counting our week as four ministry opportunities… 16-19.
The week ended with an amazing foot washing service. May we wash the feet of those around us… Loving God, Loving Others, Serving People.

Our Summer Retreat will be this weekend, June 4-6, at Camp Hargis YMCA. We’ll be hiking, swimming, fishing, canoeing, and more! Cost is only $35. If you want to go there’s still time to sign up.
For our 13th Ministry Opportunity we attempted to serve with the Miracle League of Gardendale, a baseball league for children with special needs. We went, but got rained out. Thanks to all that went out, God looks at your heart and intentions and knows you were willing and ready to serve. God bless those kids and families.

For our 12th ministry opportunity we donated money to an organization that builds wells in Africa. Did you know more than 1 billion people on our planet don’t have access to clean drinking water?
Check out www.rwandacleanwater.com . We can be a blessing to others.
If you’re interested www.drytears.org was started by a teenager. It also is a “clean water” ministry.

During their winter school break students volunteered with the Metro Changers ministry. Students worked on 2 homes and painted, built a deck, replaced ceiling tile, and added insulation. We continue to pray for Mr. James and Ms. Helen. Thanks to all who served so sacrificially.
