At the end of May, when the youth group took their summer break, we had no idea how productive our summer would actually be. We envisioned a laid back, well deserved break from all youth and children's ministry activities. God had other ideas!
Contact from Caitlan Davis, Allawayne and Gordon Carr's granddaughter, was our first sign from God that things were going to happen. Caitlan was interested in volunteering time for a church related project in order to complete her Girl Scout Gold Award. Next, Barbara Hale became aware of monies available via the youth fund CD. A plan was born! Dave Stice and Brian Scheller graciously donated their time and expertise with construction, while Amanda Frame and the youth practiced their God-given talent of art and interior decorating. All of this transpired in about a four week period of time.
What resulted was a hip, new youth room doubled in size just waiting for those 20+ kids to hang out and learn about Jesus on Wednesday evenings! The room is also being used by the youth Sunday School class and could host other meetings and groups. Everyone is anxiously awaiting the September 9th start up of youth group. Amanda and Scott Frame have great plans for reaching the kids of our community.
If you think the youth room renovation is a grand God orchestrated project, just wait until you hear what He is doing with the children's ministry!
