This past weekend Chris and I partnered with our church, The Village, in a community service project we call TRANSFORM. The churches heart for local missions comes from Romand 12:2.
" Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect."
We were group leaders last year but we actually wanted to get down and dirty this year. We were blessed with the job of creating pavers for the children at Hedrick Elementary. We made the forms out of wood and poured the messy concrete to create the pavers.
The best part was to see all of joy it brought the little ones when they got to decorate their very own paver. Of course they all wanted to put their hands in it; which made it a lot of fun. Last year we donated backpacks with TONS of school supplies and we got to see the little boy who got our pack last year. This is just one of the reasons I love our church, I love that they want to get us in our communities and create relationships with others, all while sharing the love of Christ with them. Although being outside was hot, it brought me great joy to see the kids faces and the pride they took in their school. Can't wait until next time.
