Mission Sunday!

by Alisha Sloane | June 8, 2025 3:36 PM

We arrived LATE last night by the grace of God! We are so excited to be at Haysi Church of Christ. After a night of rest, we had breakfast and headed upstairs for service. Here, we heard from a local evangelist about the ministry he was doing at CCYC. We were encouraged by his passion to reach the people here in his community! Afterwards, we had the opportunity to participate in Communion.

Taking a "Break"

by Alisha Sloane | June 8, 2025 3:45 PM

After service, our team went to the Breaks Interstate Park. We had the chance to be surrounded by God's beautiful creation. It's so cool to see what the LORD has designed, and to be reminded that He is the same God who intricately designed us!

Hidden Talents!

This week, we have had the opportunity to explore new projects! In this, our team has been stretched by having the chance to step out of our comfort zone and try new things!

Using Our Gifts!

by Alisha Sloane | June 11, 2025 8:56 PM

This week, we had to be flexible. Instead of working with Feeding My Sheep, we had the chance to all serve Haysi Church of Christ. We were able to use our artistic gifts to help them prepare for their upcoming VBS!
