Mexico Mission Team, Another Success
The Mexico work was another great success. We went down to build two houses and finish some sheetrock and painting inside the church building at 10 KM. We did that… as well as some electric work at the church building, some dirt work at the orphanage (all the walls are now up!), two roofs, one porch, and some extra painting we hadn’t planned on originally. Thanks goes to everyone who made it possible. It took a lot of people donating money and materials, people learning new talents (like Debbie Moreland cutting and putting up drywall), and just great dedication and a lot of work. Thanks goes to all of you who supported us. A special thanks to all the adults who took time off to lead the trip; Keith and Randy for being the “lead men” in this year’s effort, all the drivers who braved the Piedras Negras roads, and especially to all the youth who carried on a tradition of working so very hard and giving great joy through your service. God, working through you, did a wondrous thing. Thank you personally, for the gifts and the plaque that marked our ten years of being a team in this effort. Words cannot express the appreciation I feel. Thank you very much!!!!
With the mission trip behind us, it’s time to start the summer break. There are lots of great things planned. We are going to St. Louis June 22nd. The cost is $25 per person. There is still room for about 10 more who want to go to Six Flags; the ballgame availability will determine if tickets are still available. If you would like to go, we need you to sign up right away. There are also Tuesday Night Throwdowns each Tuesday at 7 pm. (Next Tuesday we are going to Searcy for the evening worship at Uplift.)
Don’t forget summer camp!!! Sign up today! There are great camps around. The youth fund will pay the first $75, and we will try to provide transportation if you need. David, Tim, Don and others are working hard to prepare for camp at Barton, while others are going to Tahkodah, Wyldewood, Caudle, Green Valley and more. Let us know where you are going to camp this year… someone may want to go with you.
Finally … Retreat – July 13-14; Mountain Home Youth Rally on Aug.3-4; and of course…
Vacation Bible School, Aug. 5-7
Sign up today so we know for whom to prepare, help out, and keep your ears open for other events. Thanks, Danny
