Awesome Job Creekers!

Great job yesterday in serving our City for the Kingdom of God!

We worked about 300 man hours to express the servant heart of Jesus . . .

Here's some of what went on . . .

- At King High School 27 bags of cut limbs and pulled weeds, etc were tossed as the team fought through the rain and mud to beautify the school atrium

- Apartments painted at Mission 911 - Even though rained out of the outdoor roofing project, the team jumped in and cleaned, prepped and painted apartments that are used to house people who are living without shelter

- We collected over 4 barrels of food in 8 different neighborhoods for the Corpus Christi Food Bank who has been struggling to meet the incredible needs right now

- At Miller HS Creekers worked beside students and community volunteers and painted two classrooms; Sanded and stained stairwell rails; Painted Parent Storage Room; Painted two walls on 2nd floor; and Repainted the ISSC Carrels Pink!

Collecting food for the food bank...in Brody's words, "it's like a big Easter egg hunt that helps people who don't have food."

It's awesome seeing our boys serve. Often, this is done without complaining or whining (unlike some other tasks around the house!). God makes it obvious that he has designed us to worship Him...to reflect His glory to the world around us...to serve those in need. I appreciate the opportunity to step outside the building on Sunday and love on our neighbors and our city. As a parent, I love to see my boys living out God's calling on their lives. I love to see them figuring this out for themselves...even at an early age. I know that they experience a relationship with God and define their faith as they love and serve those in need.

Way to go Creekers. Live it out.
