ReCreation Experience




We recently went to Asheville, NC for a spring break trip with our High School students. It was great time for everybody. We partnered with a ministry called ReCreation Experiences. Their vision is essentially to give help to the needy, poor, and handicapped through home repair. Their website is http://www.recreationexperiences.org/ where you can find out more about this awesome ministry.
We had a great time working with ReCreation! We spent the week living in a renovated elementary school and the staff there were great. We went to Mr. Edwards' (up top) home during the daytime and helped repair his yard and house. There was a great need to take down trees, and yank up ole' thorny vines. We sanded down the walls and ceiling on the inside then we painted it down with primer trying to get it ready for the next group to come and finish what we started. All in all at the very end, things really started to get a lot cleaner and Mr. Edwards had a decent living situation.
The greatest impact was not made through our toil and work even though we were able to help Mr. Edwards greatly. We took some time on the last day to sing happy birthday to Mr. Edwards and pray for him. When we finished we found Mr. Edwards in tears. It was a great thing to know that what he deeply needed was to simply believe that he was loved. Somehow God allowed us to show him exactly that...

80's Night!!!
We recently had a great time in our church garage by celebrating the 80's. It took everyone a little bit of time to get to dancin but we all learned that only thing we really had to be embarrassed about was our clothing and not dance moves... It was great evening to honor that great yet terrible decade that all Americans seemingly lost their sense of fashion, style, and especially music... Here's to the 80's!!!

Trust... Who do you trust? Family, Friends, Pastors, Teachers, etc.? How about Christ? Do you trust Him? Do you trust Him when you mess up, feel discouraged, figuring out life direction, or when you don't feel like He is there? If you don't... that's ok... He is still more than enough... even for our distrust. God has questions for us. Not the type of questions where He needs to figure something out... But the type of questions that we need in our lives to help us figure something out... Come join us as we look throughout God's word to see what He is asking us.
