This past weekend I was able to participate in a service weekend that myself and a few friends organized for my churches Youth Group!
Our theme for the weekend was that it could be fun to share the gifts/talents that God has given you!
On Friday night all nine of us went to Hamilton beach where we had a chance to talk, sing and have a Bible Study!
Saturday was a day full of service projects. We started the morning off by having a car wash to raise money for Streetlight Ministries. We were able to raise $200 so that this ministry can hopefully buy a new bus! After the car wash we went to Mission services where we sorted some clothing that they hope to hand out at a barbeque that they are having in August! Later we went to a school where we prepared food for a Mexican Soccer outreach! Finally we headed back to the church for a cafe night! Here we were able to share our musical talents with the Sheffield Community as well as our church community!
Looking back on the weekend I can see that God was definitely part of it! He brought cars to come and get washed so that we could raise money, he brought people to the cafe, he kept us safe, he blessed us, etc. HE WAS THERE!!! It is such a cool thing to witness that God is REAL! HE loves us!
We hope to do another service weekend next year where we will possibly do some more challenging activities! But until then, the nine of us that participated in this weekend will be able to savour the amazing memories that were made through serving others as well as serving God! :)
