Summer Adventures
So far this summer our schedule was filled with events and moments to connect. This video gives you a glimpse of two events. Jonerik, Joe Darrow and some teens from our church (including two of our own) joined some other leaders in a week long backpacking trip in New Hampshire. They hiked each day, set up their camp at night and enjoyed beautiful surroundings like natural waterfalls, clean air and spectacular views from the peak of the mountain. They were challenged in their walks with God and given a unique opportunity to enjoy his creation.
We also recently had our annual block party! This is a big event that shuts down a section of Frankford Ave. for the afternoon. We set up a stage, inflatables, food booths, a place for sharing the gospel, games, face painting and we open our playground for the kids. This is a great way to have fun and serve our community.
Our summer isn't over. Jonerik is actually at Dorney Park right now with teens from Teen Club who earned the rewards trip for good grades this past school year.
He will also be going with some teens for a second time to serve dinner at a homeless shelter at the end of this week. He is intentional about serving our community with the teens - to help them see beyond themselves and to realize that they can make a difference for others.
