Chillicothe United Methodist Church

Same goals: serve God and serve the community. It’s a blessing to serve together! Amazing first day in fellowship. 

The boys were fascinated by this fancy classic lawn mower. They took turns fixing up the church lawn for tomorrow's church service! 

Taking opportunities with our own professional photographer this week! 

We got to spend some quality time with Tim tonight! He will be our main guide this week as we work our way through projects getting this church ready for their 110th Anniversary this summer! 

This week we are getting the chance to spend our time with Jesus right on the beach. 

This is giving a new meaning to a BnB (Bibles and Beaches). 

We are looking forward to our time in fellowship this morning with the church congregation! 

Today the group had the opportunity to share in a time of worship and hear God’s Word in communion with the local church. We enjoyed a great time of fellowship. 

Team is getting all set up for all the painting that is to come!! We jumped right in this afternoon :)

Some of our power washing crew!! 

Our team making our way to gather for morning Devotions!

We were blessed by Dave with a Native Parable story. We are anticipating hearing the lesson of the Parable later today. 

But how crazy is it that Jesus taught to his disciples through Parables all the time! 

Hudson has been Tim's main maintenance guy this week! He has blessed the church with fixing various machines that have been out of commission for a while! 

It's great finding opportunities to use our different gifts to serve the local church this week!! 

Got a bright and early start on the painting this morning! 

Everyone is hard at work getting this church looking spiffy! 

Iyanna has become an expert with the power washer!

She was making sure the scaffolding stays nice and clean as we were blessed to use them this week by on of the church members!

The church floor needs to be repaired, so the team made the inspection and took the measurements needed under the floor. Michael and Orlando teamed up for this task to make it possible. It’s amazing to do teamwork in favor of the local church! 

Getting in all the nutrition we can!!

Thankful for the spread that has been accessible to use this week! 

The Ladies at the Church and the PPM staff have tag teamed meals!

The team is working together to make the church look great! The whole team is working hard and with great enthusiasm. 

The team is ready for the day. God is good, it's a beautiful day. Our task has been discussed and we are ready to go. 

In the morning the group enjoyed a beautiful rainbow during their time of devotion. It is a blessing to have fellowship surrounded by God’s amazing creation. 

Hudson and Emily worked together today to get all the churches out of commission tools and supplies back to work as they didn't finish yesterday.  

They also went around and replaced a bunch of the wood for finished work on the church!! 

Our last stop before heading back for dinner was one of the coastline from the highest point of the hills of the canyon!! 

This was a highlight for a lot of us! 

Praise God for showing us so many beautiful and unexpected things this week. 

Everyone is doing their best in favor of the local church. The group is working very hard and doing the best they can in favor of the local church. One great example of hard work is Dave: he is doing his best! 

We surrounded Sam and Bryce in their suits from making it out alive! 

These boys spent the entire morning under the church replacing some of the main beams of the churches support. This building is old, and it definitely needed a little love from below! 

Thankful for their hard work! They were dirty as all get out!

Raegan and Halle prepping for their impromptu interview video to send to Bethany Hamilton! 

Tim is trying to get her to respond to these ladies as they admire her life and story. 

It's been fun to be on this beautiful island that she grew up on and still lives on!

Every morning there is a devotional time where the group discusses and reflects on the Word of God. This morning we enjoyed a time of devotion and reflection on God’s willingness to forgive. God is good! 

Auntie Nancy is teaching the group how to make leis. Truly a beautiful form of art! She is known on the island for being the best lei maker. She wins multiple awards every year. 

Looking forward to taking home the leis that we are making tonight. 

Sam is catching on fast to this Lei making!

This morning we learned how God makes sense in a world that is affected by pain and suffering. Jesus and his cross bring ultimate hope to a broken world! 

It was an amazing morning on the beach learning together. 

This morning we receive the amazing news that the group appears on the local newspaper. It’s amazing news because more people would know about the local church, which would open doors for them to share the gospel with people in the community. 

The group work really hard all week. They put their best effort to honor God and serve the community. It was a marvelous effort and experience! By the grace of God this beautiful team finish their work with strength. Is evident the love of God in their hearts and lives.
