The week included inspiring worship services to more than 15 community services organizations and interactive social events creating deep community connections.
Worship services were held in the First Christian Church sanctuary each evening with praise and worship leaders and keynote speaker Pastor Winston Watson from St. Mary’s Jamaica. The nightly themes were: You Are Chosen, You Are Loved, You Are Somebody, and God Never Changes. These themes were carried through with devotion booklets used on the work sites and with youth groups.
The participants organized, stocked shelves and shopped with customers at Our Daily Bread. They worked with Habitat Restore on a habitat build where they organized, sorted and cleaned. They served lunches and provided self esteem building programs at 4 Stillwater Public School free lunch distribution sites.
They also installed an outdoor music wall and completed other projects for a FCC Preschool. The volunteers worked at the Life Center on various projects and helped Will Rogers Elementary accomplish yard work and other chores.
The week was not all work and no play. Monday focused on team building activities at Boomer Lake and concluded with a pool party and use of the gym at the OSU Colvin Center. Groups were back at the lake Tuesday evening for a cookout and lake activities including tubing. Wednesday was movie night followed by a Red Carpet Premiere Dance that completed the evening.
Thank you to the Disciples Foundation for providing resources to help fund the event. We also thank all of the churches, youth and leaders who made this week so fruitful.
What a wonderful end to summer and a beautiful way to make new friendships, learn new life lessons and create life skills that will be long lasting.
