I know I skipped a week on you, but there are reasons! I don’t really know if anyone is reading this, either, since Adam helped me move the blog.
SOS–Summer of Service went well. Great students, fabulous leaders, loads of service opportunities in the Centre Region, random acts of kindness, solid worship and teaching times…
2 young ladies placed their trust in Jesus this week at SOS! It doesn’t get better than that!
The $1 car wash was a hit. We gave people a dollar bill when they pulled in to let us wash their automobile. People were mildly surprised/blown away that we were paying them to wash their car…
Stephanie Peters led our worship band, and it was sweet.
Everything rises and falls on leadership, and our leaders were excellent–great attitudes, generous with time and effort, helpful, above and beyond the “ask.”
Rafting was a blast–the Yough was running at 4 feet, which is high. That meant it was fast, and some of the more dangerous places were less so. Gerry Horton, the youth pastor at First Baptist Bellefonte, got whacked in the mouth with a paddle and lost a front tooth. Bummer…
I preached at Calvary this past weekend from Psalm 82. You can listen here. One more week in the sermon series…
We went to a wedding yesterday. Erica Young (Calvary staffer works with PSU students) married Craig Reitz. I got to MC the reception, which was out at Harvest Fields. All in all, it was a beautiful day…
Kim has a list of chores for me, so I’m off to get things ready for a party she’s having for her small group tonight. SHould be fun to catch up…

Hi,
Just want to let you know what a true blessing it was to have the youth at The FaithCentre in Bellefonte. The Summer of Service Program is a great idea. The kids were very polite and got a lot of work done. Keep up the great work.
Praying for your little girl in China.
Thank,
Donna Spicer
