Will Work for Food: Awesomeness!

God did amazing things last night with the youth. Seventeen kids gathered at the church to simulate homelessness and rally for food items to be donated to our food pantry. Our congregation gladly accepted the invitation to participate and brought in TONS of food and gave over $50. The kids also played games to earn points which CSI ministries will exchange for food items (175 points/items to be exact :o)

Many people will be fed.

God rocks!

Will Work For Food

This Saturday, August 15 at 8:00pm, our youth group will be gathering at the church to simulate homelessness, spending the night sleeping in cardboard boxes. There will be games to play and activities to take part in, but I'm mostly excited about what God will be doing in the hearts of these young people throughout this experience; The fellowship they'll share together. The appreciation they'll develop for the blessings they have. The passion God will ignite in them to do good works that He has prepared in advance for them. If you're interested in helping in some way, we are in need of some scrap materials such as old tarps or sheets of plastic; anything that could be used to make shelters. You can drop these items off at the church anytime on Saturday after around 6:00pm. You can also e-mail me at nathanharris0413@gmail.com to make other arrangements. Most of all, it would be great for people to support our youth through prayer and by bringing non-perishable food and household items to church on Sunday morning to give to the kids. All items will be used in the food bank. Thank you!

Home Again

After two cancelled flights, two hours on standby for a delayed flight that we didn't even have tickets for, and after losing our lugguage somewhere in New Jersey, we have finally made it home! Although it's great to have our own bed to sleep in and all the other comforts of home, as well as being close to our family and friends again . . . I already miss Ireland.

Ireland: Day 7

On day 7 of our trip, we visited Belfast, the Giant's Causeway, and Dunluce Castle. It was fantastic! Then we made our way back to Newcastle and ordered a take-out pizza. We took a taxi to the National Trust, where the Murlough House is. The taxi took us as close to the house as it could, and we walked the last couple miles, stopping at a picnic table to eat our pizza. Afterwards, we finished walking to the house to pack up and say goodbye to everyone.

Ireland: Day 6

Day 6 of our trip was great. Evelina, a missionary at the Murlough House from Poland, took us to the Ross Trevor Christian Renewal center. Then we stopped at a cool coffee and sandwich place called Grounded and did some shopping in a town called Newry. Afterwards, we had a barbecue and game night with the youth of Dundrum, busing them into the Murlough House.
