It Started as a Local Summer Outreach Project......




This Summer our church ventured out into the community to host on site backyard bible school. We went to two locations, Ponderosa Mobile Home park and Elizabethtown Motel. I served at Elizabethtown Motel and had the privilege of getting to hang out with the cool kids in this picture and several others for a few hours a day for almost a week. It was truly an awesome experience and you could feel God's hand on this project. He brought together a team that wanted to be there and wanted to see his will done in this area of our town.
The back yard bible schools were awesome but that is not where this story ends! God lead people to this mission project that want to see these areas ministered to further. We are embarking on an exciting new mission project where we are going to go to the Commonwealth lodge once a month and hold a relaxed church service. We will have activities for the kids, a speaker for the adults, food, and fellowship. Pray for this ministry, and the people who will be ministered to. Pray for God to ready their hearts. Pray for us at Severn's Valley, that we will keep this vision and we will do the good works God has prepared in advance for us to do!!
I'll keep you posted on what God is doing in and through this ministry!
