Life Church has been doing a series called OnePrayer. This weekend we took part in a micro-mission at the Oak Grove Apartments and Rockwood Elementary.
Laynie and Blake came with us and were great! Laynie helped in the kids area. She did face painting and did art projects with the local kids. Blake was with us and he played games with the kids. Clint and I worked on the school. We repaired the basketball goals and cleaned up the court. It was overgrown with grass. It really wasn't even a court. Some of the teachers and the principal of the school were there and were just speechless. They said that so many churches offer to come and do things but never follow thru.
It was a great experience. We go back toward the end of July.
Here are some pictures of the day.
Laynie, smiling at 6:30am!
What a trooper!
Clint, sporting the purple bandana (that was for the leaders). The kids thought he looked silly! I couldn't disagree!
Clint managing the kids on the giant "slip-n-slide". The fire department was there spraying all the kids. They had so much fun running through the water!
Blake joined in on the water slide fun!
An ice cream truck came with FREE ice cream for all the resident kids. The line was SO long! It was cute to hear all the kids scream from excitment!
