liquid bible study for young adults fork

Meet us for breakfast at 9:45 Sunday morning before church to talk about what God’s doing in our lives. We’re currently working through Liquid: Fork in the Road. Amazon says:

Fork in the Road is a modern retelling of the life of David. From his legendary triumph over Goliath to his greatest downfall with Bathsheba, Fork in the Road portrays one man’s crucial moments of decision that either lead him to victory or defeat.

So, stop by, check out David’s decisions and how they can help us learn to make better decisions–and connect with some other young adults trying to make the right decisions in life. You can always check the schedule or call/text (302-632-0637) me to find out where we’re meeting.

This week, we’ll be at the McDonalds by the North Gate of the Base, right on Route 10 (Lebanon Rd). For directions, click here. Come by and look for us-I’ll be looking for you!

Convoy DC Update

Published by YAvillage.com under Event, Serve

Convoy of Hope Washington DC GroupMy head is still spinning and my body still aches, but I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything! A hurricane may have delayed the event and prevented the second group from arriving, but going to Convoy last weekend was an incredible experience. It was life-changing for many of the 10,000+ people who came and received the hope and help they needed. And it was definitely an experience that those of us who could make it will not soon forget.

Joel (the guy in the pic with the black hat) sent this encouraging letter that paints a picture of the event:

Unbelievable!  I could not stop saying that today!  After homeland security & FEMA shut us down yesterday (btw, we lost 3 tents in the crazy hurricane winds) I didn’t know what to expect on Sunday.  But my expectations were exceeded!  We had over 10,000 people show up today to the Convoy of Hope as well as 1,200 plus volunteers!  Unbelievable!

I wish you all could have been there to see it, but I totally understand everyone’s different commitments with their churches.  Thank you for your support in so many different capacities along the way.

For those who could make it, it was such a wonderful experience to have our worship service by worshipping through service!  We were not a group of churches today, we were THE CHURCH!  Thanks so much to all the volunteers, the churches, everyone who invested in this event.  I will be in touch soon with more, but just had to say a huge THANKS to everyone who gave prior to the event and those who served at the event!!!

The Washington Post and the Washington Times both ran articles about what we did. Also, check out I Gave One Day. The site is a social networking site for those interested in Compassion ministry.
