As part of our Mt. Horeb Summer Missions week, a number of our high school students prepared and serve a lunch for the residents of the Homestead Apts in Mt. Horeb.  After joining the residents for the meal, they held a trivia game and enjoyed their time sharing stories and meeting new friends.  Click on the pictures below to see full size frame.

 

Our Camp ELC and Mt. Horeb Summer Missions Week concluded with Thursday evening’s program at Brigham Park.  Beginning Sunday evening the staff from Sugar Creek Bible Camp met with our 2nd through 6th graders under the theme:  “Ordinary People … Extraordinary God”, while our younger students met with our own volunteers.  New this year was our middle school and high school “Mt. Horeb Summer Missions” week.  During their time this week these young people collected food for the food pantry, made and delivered meals and blankets for the Ronald McDonald House, volunteered at the Second Harvest Food Bank, Community Clothes Closet, and much more.

One special project completed by all the young people this week was a special ‘Noah’s Ark’ banner, filled with hand-prints and pictures to be sent to our sister congregation in Puerto Rico.

Many thanks to all who made this week a great experience!

 

 

Happy Father’s Day!

Hope you can enjoy this summer weekend, including time for worship!

^“For the love of Christ urges us on…,”  — 2 Corinthians 5:14a
