Pulling weeds and dusing blinds? Oh My!
A few Wednesdays ago I had the opportunity to help out with the combined service project night. I had no idea that it was that fun. Seriously! The service project was a service scavenger hunt to a designated family's house. From our list the family could choose what we should do for them or they had the opportunity to tell us what to do and we got points for each completed task. The teams gathered back at the church to see who scored the highest. There was much anticipation waiting for the teams to all arrive and the scores seemed to keep getting higher and higher. When all said and done, it wasn't about the score or who won, now was it? It was fun listening to everyone's adventure. Yes, it was service but it was also creating memories and opportunities to learn. What topped it all off was that I heard some of the families still talking (weeks later) about how appreciative they were for the youth helping them out with some projects. They said its so wonderful to see how giving our youth is and they were truly grateful! ~ Sister Winters
