Leaf Raking
Today 3 students responded to a txt message sent earlier in the day and came up to the church immediately after school. We raked a yard of an elderly couple who needed it done so the gentleman could get to and from the car without slipping on the leaves.
What may seem small (3 students) is pretty impressive to me. This was a job that was requested when I received a call at noon today. The kids were at school, they got the message between classes (txt), within 3 hours they were raking. Unplanned service shows the hearts of these kids and their willingness to do real service as opposed to sitting around eating potato chips and playing video games.

potential service - pregnancy crisis center / michindoh / emergency afterschool rake job
I spoke with the director of the local pregnancy crisis center and she gave me some great ideas about how we can help them. Our lessons the next two weeks are on dating and relationships, so doing a service for the center simply makes sense right now.
I have also spoken with the people at camp Michindoh, and they will have a couple service projects available to us on the weekends that our Jr. High as well as our Sr. High are there. This will add a missional worship component to this retreat.
Today I have sent a message out to various youth to gather them for leaf raking of one yard. The elderly who live on the property are having difficulty getting two and from their car. Will post later tonight if this gets accomplished.
A number of other projects are in the works as well. We are really trying to shift the culture of youth min at MUMC.
