Greetings from Central 2 Team!
I apologize for the delay in reports, as it has been a little difficult to get to a computer because we have been quite busy!
Last week, our team served at the Lakewood Corps in Minnesota. On Sunday, we participated in the morning service, and then led “Patio Praise” which is a community outreach meeting that the Lakewood Corps has every Sunday evening during summer.
Monday, Thursday, and Friday we helped with the corps’ day camp program, leading the art class and the Bible lesson on those days.
On Monday, some of our team also went with the older kids from day camp to volunteer at a place called Second Harvest. At Second Harvest, we put together bags of donated food for families in need.
Tuesday, we mingled with attendants of the Adult Day Center. This is a place where retired people from the area can come during the day and be cared for while taking part in various activities. We also led a short worship service for the folks there. After the Adult Day Center program ended, our team did various tasks around the corps that needed to be done.
On Thursday after day camp, our team went door to door, passing out “Patio Praise” flyers in nearby neighborhoods.
We left Lakewood on Saturday morning and had dinner Saturday evening at the corps officers’ house here in Milwaukee. This past Sunday, we participated in the meeting, leading some worship songs and singing some special music.
We are helping run the day camp here at the Milwaukee West Corps. The day camp is run similar to a Vacation Bible School program, and so our team helps with day camp opening and closing, as well as the organizing of day camp activities. Half of us does this while the other half of our team helps the new officers clean and organize the corps building (this is only their second week here).
The officers here have been extremely welcoming and they have introduced our team to some amazing Asian food. We will be sad to leave here on Friday, but look forward to the rest of our week here.
We fly to the Bahamas on Saturday morning. We ask that you keep both us and those we will be ministering to in your prayers. Thank you so much!
God Bless!
Carolyn, See, David, Abby, Audrey, and Eric
