Middle School Shout out

I'm so excited about the work God is doing in and thru our M.S. ministry.
Here's a quick clip Sheila Andrews sent me from this past Wed. nights service Project. 

Pastor Jason,



We had a total of 7 students and 3 leaders go tonight to the Parkside Assistant living facility in Starke. I think the students enjoyed it as much as the residents did they said they had fun and want to go back. Their was one 91 year old lady named Laura that had us all laughing like crazy. The girls got to polish one ladies toe nails, another ladies finger nails (in her favorite color hot pink) and fixed one ladies hair. We also met a gentleman named Mr. Wainright who grew up in Starke and at one time was the Sheriff and the park across the road from the facility was named after his mom. Our goal in tonights outreach (visit) was to share the LOVE OF CHRIST!

Next weeks outreach:
Pam knows a woman in Lake Butler that has always been there to help others but now has cancer, she is checking with her this week to see if we can visit her next week maybe taking her a meal or to just visit and let the students take her some baked goods that they make. We talked as a group when we got back tonight and we told the students that we will let them know the final details Sunday before sunday school.
This outreach is in putting to practice the truths they learned thru their recent small group Bible Study "Crazy Love" by Francis Chan. 
I am so thankful for Pam, Cindy, and Sheila, who are doing such a good job in leading our Middle School students.
I also want to thank our H.S. students who are also investing in the lives of our Middle School students on Wed. and Thurs. afternoon.
Praise God for what He's doing in this area of ministry.
