Some Fun & Work Projects Continue

FRIDAY EVENING: Our special activity of the night was bowling in Prestonsburg, a nearby town. We played three games. Curtis had the high score and the best student score was from Josh W.  Most importantly though, everyone had a great time. Our devotions focused on Luke 7:11-17. We discussed the passage in small groups and then as a whole group. There were lots of comments on this small, often overlooked, story about Jesus.

 

THURSDAY: It's getting a little harder to wake up in the morning. We left our house before 9:00 to go to our work sites. The group led by Mr. Rink is working at a mobile home. The deck by the front door was in very bad shape. So the first order of business was deck demolition. Today they finished digging post holes and started work on constructing the new deck. Yesterday the homeowner invited them inside and had made vegetable soup for them. The work is a blessing, but it is also a blessing to build relationships.

Today was just a half work day. This afternoon we are going to the Paintsville State Park area (I wanted our group to get a little closer to area trees and spend time in the forest). We did some exploring and went on a 1+ mile hike among rolling forested hills and a big lake.
