While our Middle School Mission Trip didn’t look exactly like we originally planned COVID-19 didn’t stop this crew from a week of service!
Our team was split into 5 smaller groups. Each morning we gathered at Signal Pres, packed up our vans and headed out to our worksites for a day of service. We painted houses, hauled trash, re-roofed a carport, and helped with tornado relief.
After several months of being home and spending hours upon hours in front of screens, we all found ourselves most thankful and grateful to simply serve alongside friends whom we’ve missed terribly!
In the evenings we met back at Signal Pres for a time of worship, teaching, prayer & small groups. Our teaching theme/focus was on justice. Each night we taught on Micah 6:8 and it could not have been timelier for all that is going on in our world right now. I am thankful for God’s providence and how He was at work orchestrating that which I could have never anticipated.
A big THANK YOU to …
