Serving in 60º Weather!

Last night our group devotions, based on 1 John 4, were focused on God’s love and our response by loving one another.

Today we woke with an outside temperature of 15º. However, today’s high ended up being 60º! After breakfast at 8:00, we read Psalm 136 and prayed for the day. Today is a day of service.

Rehoboth Group: they cleaned very large and tall windows at both of the gym entrances; painted a large number of “stage pieces”, painted “no parking” barriers; and some weeding.

Church of the Nazarene, Compassion Ministries, Pastor Chris: this group made 76 lunches (peanut butter sandwiches, with chips, drink, granola bar, and other goodies) and then drove around town distributing the food to homeless people. We talked with some and even prayed with some. It was a wonderful day of serving that moved us out of our comfort zones!

At 3:00 we went on a hike in western wilderness that is right behind Rehoboth. We ended up walking 4.4 miles.


For dinner we had Navajo Tacos. Navajo bread is fried and slightly sweetened. It’s then topped with beans, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cheese and salsa. Really good!
