We started out the day today by attending a service at Metro Alliance Church, with a message given by Dan McElwain who is actually a middle school teacher. His message was on 2 Corinthians 6:3-7:1. He taught us about how we sometimes can create extra stumbling blocks for people who are not yet believers, and also how we shouldn't give up in the attempt to "be perfect" simply because we're saved; for it is because we're saved that we should press on in order to be perfect as our father in heaven is perfect. It was a great message that connected very well with our team.
After that some of us went grocery shopping and some of us passed out fliers for the VBS. When that was done we returned to the Family Ministry Center, where we're staying, to have lunch and get ready for the BBQ.
Our BBQ lasted from 3-5:30pm, and we had the chance to register many kids for the VBS and get-to-know/feed some homeless people - it was exactly what the BBQ was intended to do.
Finally, we went to Edgewater Park to spend some time swimming and enjoying a quiet evening. At Edgwater there is a beach with Lifegaurds, an ice cream shop, and a live percussion group made of of individuals who at random can show up and join in the music. It was a great end to our day.
Your prayers and support are greatly appreciated!
