We have been working hard here on the middle school missions trip and it’s paying off well. We split the team for several hours as we served to other local churches connect to Corvallis Church then joined back together to server Dallas Church, Corvallis Church’s mother church.
As we split one group went to help Suburban Church with several projects around their campus. Suburban has provided Corvallis Church with office space and other aid and it was wonderful to bless those who are blessing others.
The second group went to help another new church plant here in Corvallis. They are only in the planning stages and are yet to come up with a name but they have been given an old church building. As we arrived it was easy to see that the grounds had been really let go of by the church that had once used the facilities. Weeds that stood over five feet high surrounded the building and filled the parking lot planters. The Pastor explain a long “dream list” of their goals for the grounds being cleaned by the end of the year. So far the work was being done by he and his wife and a handful of other helpers. They were shocked to come back 7 hours later to find their year end plans complete. I was thrilled with how hard the team worked and amazed by all we accomplished in one day. (see pics below)
As I mentioned we were also able to help Dallas Church with a project. Quite honestly their request is by far the strangest I have ever had on a trip of this nature and I have seen and heard a lot. I was very tired from a long day of work in the sun as Mike Miller, one of the Pastors at Corvallis Church, was explaining this new opportunity to serve. He was talking along about how helpful it would be and about handing out flyers and connecting to the community. All of these things seemed normal and I has just half awake agreeing my way through the conversation when the word “Parade” sparked my brain. When I asked,”Did you say parade?”, he looked at me and said, “oh are you not interested?”. To this I quickly explained that I was more the just interested, I was very excited. So with that yesterday morning our group marched in the Dallas Or annual city parade. As the Dallas Church float passed by our students handed out candy and flyers inviting all along the parade route to join Dallas Church for service today. The joy on the faces of our students was huge as they waved to the crowds lining the mile and a half parade route. Throwing candy to children and cooling people of with blasts from water guns, riding in old time trucks and waving to the crowds. I know that this memory will last a life time for the students. Our energy added much excitement to the Dallas float and they were grateful for our service.
It’s quickly beginning to feel like this won’t be our last trip to serve the people of Corvallis.

That’s right it’s almost time for our middle school missions trip. We will be meeting here at the church Monday July 25th and heading to Corvallis, OR for 8 days and 7 nights of serving God and having fun. This year we are serving a new church plant in Corvallis helping them connect with their community through service projects, prayer walks, and surveys. God has blessed them in a huge way by gathering a great team to get this church off the ground including one of our students who’s family has moved to OR to join the team. So, here is a great chance to give back to God a this summer.
We are going to serve, but we will also be having a lot of fun. Our days will be spent working and our evenings will be spent having fun and getting to know the people of Corvallis. The area is truly blessed with natural beauty. During our trip we will be taking several day hikes and enjoying all that the Master Artist has created. In addition to this we will be making several stops for fun on the way home.
During our time in Corvallis we will be staying at several homes of people from a local church. This is a missions trip, so its not the Hilton. You will need to bring a sleeping bag and pillow. If you have an air mattress or can get one I would highly recommend bringing it along. We will have full showers where we are staying but you will need to bring your own toiletries and towel. This time of the year can be pretty hot in Corvallis, so make sure to pack for hot days and warm to cool nights. You will need to bring at least two work outfits plus any other clothes you will need for the trip. The cost of the trip pays for all meals other than three fast food meal on the way there and three for the trip back. Plus we will be going a few fun places so bring spending money as you see fit. As a guide $60-$80 dollars is the recommended range.

On July 5th we will be meeting at the church at 5:45am to get an early start on a week of ministering to the children of Stockton. From the 5th to the 10th we will be partnering with New Day Community Church, a young church in Stockton, to host a v.b.s. at their church site and 6 bible clubs in local parks and neighborhoods. Our middle school program has had an on going relationship with new day for several years. It’s been amazing to watch their progress as a church and to join with them in everything from their first v.b.s. to painting their buildings. If you go to their web site at newdaystockton.com you can see one of their buildings in the back ground which we painted two years ago and a white fence around the grass that we finished last summer. Our friendship with new day has been a wonderful with our students seeing the ongoing ministry that they have had a hand in developing. It’s such a blessing to return this summer to help with v.b.s. and to host their bible clubs. God has been generous in pouring out His love and spirit on all of our work with New Day and I’m excited to see what he has laid out for us this summer.
