Solid Rock Family Church

This morning we joined Newton Baptist church for Sunday School. Our younger folks have gone downstairs and our older folks joined the adult Bible study. It's a small, quaint church and we are excited to be a part of it and join in worship in this peaceful town.

After church, we had the opportunity to eat with the Pastor and other church members. It was a wonderful time where we were able to learn more about the culture and Newton Baptist Church's ministry.

We are looking to start and finish a ramp for Steve today. Progress is going well. Steve used to be a carpenter and able to do so many things on his own and due to his health he just can't do it anymore and has trouble getting around. So here we get to help him be more mobile around his home! 

This morning, part of our team went to Union Mission in Charleston. Union Mission has a feeding ministry for the homeless, as well as faith based programs for individuals in addiction recovery. We were able to help sort donations for their thrift store that supports their other programs, remove old mulch from their vegetable garden, and help weed the property.

This afternoon Steve's deck and ramp were completed by the team!

Today, part of our team was able to come alongside of the local elementary school and help them prepare for their first day of school on Thursday and for their Open House this evening. Our team assisted in replacing ceiling tiles, hanging up bulletin boards, and even helping to put together new playground equipment!

The last couple of days we have been working at Union Mission.  We sat down with a gentleman who shared his testimony and his success in the program and we were able to pray for him. Many men have this same testimony and success story. What a privilege it is to help behind the scenes so that an organization like this can continue to do what it does best.

On Wednesday, our team went back to Union Mission. Part of the team prepared a meal for men in their program, as well as staff. They prepared tater tot hot dish, which was a hit!

What a successful event. The team as very well prepared with songs and a skit and even a word from Pastor Becky. Anyone who came, students, grandparents, or teens were all blessed by the effort and spirit-led leaders.

We gave away school supplies, made a craft, played games, and sang a few songs!

This morning part of our team went to Miss Betty's house to help prime her deck! Our team finished priming in less than two hours!
