Day
one of Serve 2016 is in the books. Serve shirts have been handed out, trucks
have been unpacked, and Jesus has already began what will be an incredible
week. Over 50 of us filled the room tonight as we worshiped together and as Mandy spoke on ‘looking up’ to God for the help we need. After the message, the
students went out under the beautiful Vermont stars and had some time to
reflect on the message. This is where God really started to show off. Today
just happened to be Chester, VT’s 250th anniversary. They just
happened to set off fireworks as the students were heading outside. The
fireworks just happened to be completely visible from the field and Mandy’s
lesson just happened to be about ‘looking up’. It was a reminder to us as
leaders that no matter how much planning and effort we throw into this trip,
God is ultimately the one in control!
Tomorrow
we are up at 8:00AM and on our way to South Londonderry for Church service.
From there, a day full of adventure, team building, and fun as we kick off
SERVE 2016!
