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.
For our eleventh ministry opportunity students visited area hospitals and placed I.C.U. Care Packages in waiting rooms. We visited the I.C.U. waiting rooms at St. Vincents East, Trinity, Children’s and U.A.B. hospital.
God bless the sick and hurting…
Just wanted to post some of our summer events for you.
First there’s the Youth Retreat we’ll be taking to the YMCA’s Hargis Retreat Center, June 4-6. This will be a great camp experience!
Second there’s the Youth Mission Trip to Pawhuska, Oklahoma. We’ll be working with the Osage Indians and doing things like Kids Clubs, Home Improvement Projects, and Sports Camps.
There will be other exciting events and trips, and we’ll still be focusing on service opportunities. We’ll also be getting together with some other great youth groups.
Don’t miss it!

During our tenth service opportunity 30 students skipped church to be the Church to the hungry and homeless. We fed almost 100 people in Woodlawn. God bless those that served and were served. For more info check out Community Kitchens of Birmingham.
For our ninth service opportunity we raked Ms. Thelma’s yard. We raked leaves and picked up a lot of sticks. We appreciate Ms. Thelma and wanted to show her that we care about her. God Bless you Ms. Thelma!
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.
