VBS Community Night

Strength & Scriptures and VBS outreach

I know many of you guys are still recovering from the mission trip to Gloucester.

So we'll do a light day of Strength & Scriptures from 12-4pm and then we will be out the the community doing Vacation Bible School outreach.

Mrs. Angela will be leading us in a game, a small craft and some music as we reach out to kids in the local neighborhood. Be at the church at 5:30pm.

Gloucester Final Full Workday

Today was our final full workday. All of our crews finished their projects... PRAISE THE LORD!

We've still got a really big block party and a free showing of the new Winnie the Pooh movie we are helping with for Bridge Point Church tomorrow before we leave.

Continue to pray for us and for the people of Gloucester. There are still SO MANY displaced and hurting families here.

Below are some pictures of where the Tornado touched down just outside the neighborhood where we were working. It basically cleared an entire forest and field.


If it had touched down just 1 block earlier it would have devastated the entire neighborhood and there would have been MANY casualties. For sure, God was gracious and instead He let it touch down in this field.

Gloucester Final Full Workday

Day 4 Gloucester Pictures

It's been a busy day here in Gloucester, so I don't have a lot of pictures.

But one of the greatest stories has been with our team finishing the wheel chair ramp. This precious lady was so filled with joy she began to cry as she thanked our students.

Here are some pictures from their team:

Day 3 Gloucester Mission Trip

Another hot, but another great day in Gloucester today!

These teens are working so hard and it is incredible to watch them interact with each other and the community.

Part of our job this week is also to help a new SBCV church plant called Bridge Point Church. Our middle school team had the chance to help sand a truck that donated to the church. They use this truck every Sunday to set up and take down their church because they do not have their own building. The guys worked really hard, but then relaxed by chasing chickens and taking a dip in the pool (all while John Carney slept on a hammock).







Here's our team working on a ramp for a handicapped lady here in the community.


We have other teams cleaning the local movie theater for free. Hopefully, we will get some pictures from them later on this week.

Day 3 Gloucester Mission Trip

Day 2 Gloucester Pictures

It's been a long hot day here in Gloucester today!

Most of the crews finished early today because of the heat. Everyone stayed hydrated and is doing well.

One crew finished their porch today (see the before and after pictures below)




Here's another crew working on cleaning up one of the disaster relief trailers:




Here's another team splitting logs:




Lastly, here are some pictures from our team working on the floors, putting up a new fence and removing a damaged shed:

Day 1 Finishing Gloucester

Here are a few pictures from our site.

We helped a homeowner whose roof, floor and shed were damaged from the tornado.

We were also helping put up a new fence and planting flower beds. The owner is former military and was medically discharged and would be unable to do any of this work himself.

Day 1 Finishing Gloucester

Day 1 Gloucester

Today is our first day in Gloucester, VA.

We had a great time meeting with churches here in Gloucester, and getting to know our friends from Kempsville Baptist as well.

The pastor from Bridge Point preached last night on Colossians 4:2-6. So we are praying and being watchful for opportunities through out the week to share the message of Christ as we are working.


We had breakfast at 6:30am and headed out to our work sites around 7:15pm.

We have about 7 different teams working through out the community. Please pray for all of our teams today.

Here's a list of where are teams are working:
1. Demo on a porch
2. Log splitting team for an elderly couple with no heat.
3. Team putting up a new fence.
4. Team putting in new floors into a house.
5. Team power washing some of the disaster relief trailers and equipment and fixing a play ground.

6. Team deep cleaning the theater (for free) where Bridge Point Church meets.
7. Team cleaning up a neighborhood and planting flowers.

We'll post more pictures later.

Calendar Correction

Unfortunately, our calendar program went hay wire last week and erased our Free Drink Friday's! So all of you received a wrong calendar in the mail this week.

I have enclosed a new CORRECTED CALENDAR (CLICK HERE).


New calendars are available in the youth room. Sorry the the inconvenience.
