This activity provides new friendships, fun, learning, and
completed projects.
Painting,
construction, cleaning, food services, repairing, V.B.S. aides, disaster
relief, etc. |
August 8 - 10,
Saint Frances Xavier Church
conducted a
34 student and 6 adult group outing. They conducted
Bible study and
discussion under a new activity tent, sports in a large
clearing among the beautiful trees near a large cross, swimming at
Rose park and lake, and outdoor work
near LeRoy Michigan.
The group included teenage members and some parent/leaders who could speak
Spanish but not much English and many of us who could speak English but
not much Spanish.

June 24 - June 26,
we spent
three days doing free computer repairs for students who brought their
computer to the African-American festival and Health Fair in downtown
Grand Rapids. While there we rebuilt several computers to give to
students who would do 10 hours of community service to non-profit
organizations of their choice.
While
at the festival we displayed the motorhome that we use to support youth
groups, giving tours to people who were interested in working with
teenagers. |
July 2 - July 7,
an organized group of several families with teenagers and their teenage
friends from Oakdale
Park Christian
Reformed Church attended Cornerstone
Christian Life Learning & Music Festival in Bushnell,
Illinois. We attended to give support and were able to include our
daughter and grand children at this event.
Note: For several years Oakdale organized a group of teenagers to
attend this event but recently they have attended as families who also
included teenagers who are not a part of their natural family. This
has strengthened the families and their teenager friends. |
