These past 8 days we were privileged to receive a group of 19 people from Mount Calvary Church in Elizabethtown, PA. The theme for their time here was “Going Viral…Living an Infectious Faith!” Here are some of the ways that we tried to “spread” the wonderful virus of the gospel of Jesus!
1 soccer tournament
3 baking classes
1 wheelchair event (9 chairs donated), with one lady putting her faith in Christ
2 visits to a home for the elderly
1 visit to a jr. hi. where a skit was performed by the group twice, with a Phys. Ed. class for around 700 kids.
The group also had quite a bit of interaction with the church here, with many of them staying in Mexican host homes. We prayed and sang in both Spanish in English, sensing the Spirit of God that unifies us.
Below, a list of the service projects done:
Over 1200 sq. feet of tile laid in both floors of the church
A handball court painted green
Trash pick-up and grass mowed
Honestly, we are exhausted…but joyful! What a blessing to work together in the Lord’s work, to make new friends and to realize once again together that God’s family is huge, and very special!
Below, just a small sampling of pictures that Jim Buckner took while here. For much more, make sure you make it to Mt. Calvary’s 10:15 a.m. Sunday service, to hear the full report!
