Middle School Service Plunge 2011

There are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit.

There are varieties of services, but the same Lord.

1 Corinthians 12:4-5

There are some wonderful middle school students here in the Gallatin Valley. A crew of kids from Christ the King, Hope Lutheran and First Presbyterian Churches is gathering every day this week to serve, worship, learn, play and create - and it's wonderful!
So far, groups have worked at Family Promise of Gallatin Valley, the Gallatin Valley Food Bank and with the Gallatin Valley Land Trust, doing all kinds of work, from weeding, cleaning, organizing and sorting, to packing food, playing with children, raking and shovelling gravel, and loading and unloading a moving truck. These are hard working youth!

Each day the group also has time for worship, Bible study, big group games, crafts/activities and more. Yesterday, they even had the opportunity to walk a labyrinth (our theme for the day was hospitality, and the Bible story was the road to Emmaus).

There's still more to come this week - please keep this group in your prayers!
