Hi everyone,
Just a brief reminder about our BIG team day this Saturday. Here’s the overview:
9am: Meet in Assembly room for BREAKFAST(!) with campus family (thanks, Michael Martinez… Come on, PEOPLE!). We’ll eat, play and clean with our friends, and end this portion of our day with LUNCH(!!) (and another thanks to Senor Martinez!)
12:30ish: We’ll head to the Fireside Room for our team meeting. In addition to hearing from a guest speakers, we’ll also get some basic Spanish Lessons from Yolanda Miller and Vici Herkomer! Muchisimas Gracias, senoras!
3pm: We’ll be done!
As always, please bring your team binder, journal, pen/pencil, and a note pad (or note paper for your binder). Get ready to get your Espanol on!
TEAM PHOTO WILL BE TAKEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Campus Serving Day
OK, so Saturday’s team serving day with The Coastlands campus fam was out-of-control F-U-N!!! I LOVE what the Interns and Residents have done with their Saturday cleaning responsibilities. There is A LOT that has to get done EVERY week in order to clean the building/grounds and prepare a place to welcome our church family and guests into our church home each weekend.
I am convinced that there are few serving opportunities that are as fun as Saturday cleaning. If you don’t believe me, try it yourself sometime! =) I am grateful for the time our team spent with the campus folks. We can learn a lot about the heart of serving when we do it with people who are walking in it day-in, and day-out.
After a yummy pancake and sausage breakfast, we ventured over to the “Secret Garden” by the front lawn for several games of high-speed Dodge Ball. Then we journeyed back into the building and split up into teams to clean. I think we may have finished in record time, as our Dodge Ball games took a little (lot?) more time than planned! We finished around 12:30 and enjoyed a cheeseburger BBQ lunch courtesy of Michael and Priska and the campus family.
Thanks to everyone for your great attitudes and willingness. You are a GREAT team. Don’t think for a moment that what you gave on Saturday doesn’t matter. IT DOES! And it is preparing your hearts for our soon-coming mission trip.
Until next time…
