Impacting the Community

Students volunteered to feed, provide a Bible lesson, and provide arts and crafts for the local children on December 9. In preparation for the event, students fundraised by having an ugly sweater dress down day, no-shave November, and crazy sock days. It has been amazing to watch God work through our members. The members organized into four groups, shopped, and prepped the arts and crafts bags.

On the day of service, I prayed that the rain would hold off, but it poured. It was cold and rainy, and to top it off, it was windy! I was worried that students would stay home due to the weather. Out of the 30 members, 27 showed up! I was so thankful and proud of our students. The members were able to serve two families as well as send home food and Christmas decor. Even though we did not have the number of children we prepared for, we were able to make an impact in two families’ lives. God showed me through the dedication of our students what young leaders in Christ should be like.
