It was a grey cloudy night but that just made the fire feel that much better. We had a great time out at the beach this last Friday night. Playing games, roasting hotdogs, eating s’mores, and lots of friends made for a great evening at the beach.
Make sure to check back often so you don’t miss the next middle school event!

In just a couple hours we will be back in Monterey and I’m sure everyone is ready to head home and get some well deserved rest. Last night as we stayed in Redding we had a great time of processing all God aloud us to be part of during our week in Corvallis. From helping the city of Corvallis to serving other local churches each student worked hard to do their part in all tasks. As we shared about our week last night the students were challenged not to simply return home but to go on to the next missions field in the Monterey area. Over the next few weeks those that were on the trip will be challenged to find new ways to serve those around them in their day to day life. Even though the work is different at home the mission is the same. Please pray for our students as they adjust back to home life. Also pray that they continue the mission of sharing Gods love with everyone.
This years middle school missions trip has been incredible. The students have worked hard and shown much love to the people of Corvallis Church and the City of Corvallis. As our last act of service we helped Corvallis Church put on their second preview service. This involved outdoor setup of a stage, tables, chairs, and sound system. It was more work then it sounds as much of the equipment was recently acquired and need a fair amount of repair and prep to get put together. The group also spent time over the last few days going door to door with flyers inviting neighbors to come out for the picnic dinner and worship service. During the service it was exciting to have Shorelines Ryan McKalson lead worship through song. This was Ryan’s first time doing something of this nature and, even though he had to shake of some nerves, he did an amazing job and impressed all around. After the worship service we helped pack up and load the trailer.
It had been a long week of work so that night we went down town to a gelato shop for a relaxing treat. If you want to hear a crazy story make sure to ask one of the leaders or students about the gelato dance party. This is something no one will forget soon, including those working.
Were on the road heading to redding tonight for a time of reflection before we finish our drive home tomorrow.
Thank you all so much for your prayers!
