Hey everyone!
Sorry for the lateness of this post, but we just returned back to First Fruit Ministries for the night. Here is a little recap of the day.
We spent the morning worshipping at Oleander UMC. It was so awesome to see how opening and welcoming they were to all of us. They were so excited to have so many young people filling up their sanctuary. And yes, we filled it up. We doubled their congregation attendance today! But they really are excited about us hosting a Vacation Bible School there this week!
After enjoying Papa John's Pizza for lunch, we headed out to canvas the neighborhoods to spread the word about our VBS. We handed out over 500 postcards today!!! We are hoping for a big turnout at our VBS tomorrow afternoon!
After handing out postcards and then setting up and decorating for VBS, we had a brief orientation with WARM, the construction organization we will be working with all week. We have some tough projects ahead of us, but we are excited for the opportunity!
Afterward, we went and enjoyed a Taco Dinner at Hugh MacRae Park catered by The Islands Fresh Mex Grill. It was delicious. We also were able to eat dinner with The Anchor UMC, which is where our own Emma Mathis is the intern for the summer! So it was great to see her and her youth group!
So as you can see, we had such a busy first day! We are so excited about the opportunity to get working on our construction projects and Vacation Bible School tomorrow!
Thank you again for all of your prayers and support!
In Christ,
Todd Handell
