Dear Friends, Family, and Supporters

For the third year, I have a wonderful opportunity to be a part of a week long summer mission trip with the youth of Ken Mawr United Presbyterian Church. This will be the 17th year that that our church has provided high school and college students with an opportunity to serve a community in need by working to build and renovated homes for those who are unable to do the work themselves. The workcamp experience is coordinated by Group Workcamps (a national faith-based organization) in partnership with local community and religious organizations and is a chance for young people and their adult leaders to be witness to their faith not only through the work projects but in carefully planned programs. There is a tremendous opportunity for all participants to become more deeply committed to serving others while examining personal relationships with each other and with God.

As we prepare to embark on this journey, we are making all the necessary travel arrangements. Because of the distance we are travelling this year (to Elizabeth City NC) we are incurring considerable travel cost to ensure the safety of all those participating.

If you find it in your heart to support 25 youth and adults serving some of our most vulnerable people in our country, would you please consider donating to this cause?

The other opportunity for support is to be in proayer for the group as we prepare for the trip as well as our week in Elizabeth City (June 19-25).

All participants will be sharing the workcamp experience with the Ken Mawr congregation on Sunday July 17 during both the 8:30 and 11:00 services. You are invited to join us to hear the stories of rebuilding not only homes, but lives and to see what God can do through his people.

We had such a great weekend at the Pittsburgh Project. This was not our worksite, I will try to get some pictures up.

A before and after photo of a group of volunteers working on a homeowners house this past weekend. It is inspiring and encouraging to see the beautiful transformation!

I talked to Lauren from The Pittsburgh Project. They have filled about 100 of the 150 spots for the weekend plunge in November. I am going to send in our registration on Monday. That means you must submit your registration and deposit by This Sunday to guarantee your spot. We have several registered so far.

Awesome lock-in this past weekend. We went to Sky-Zone for a couple hours then hung out at the church and did devotions, games, a movie, and great fellowship.

Our youth group devotion was based on temptations. Here is a follow-up verse:

"The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure." - 1 Corinthians 10:13

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. - Philippians 4:13

So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you. - Romans 12:1-2 (The Message)
