Friday night, we met in Greensboro to head to Alabama. After a difficult and long drive, we made it safely Saturday morning. We got a little bit of rest and then were welcomed by the 2nd Annual MCFC Luau. There were about 75 community members present along with the 9 of us from NC. There was lots of delicious food and fellowship, followed by a slip and slide for the kids and adults who pretended to be kids for a bit. It was a great way to start the summer.
The SOUL team is made up of Evan Walden and Megan Patterson, the two resident interns, Elizabeth Westbrook, Anna Smith, Meghan Luffman, Will Beeson, Tyler Radford, and myself, Alex Sikes. Throughout the summer, we will have the help of Summer McVey and Kathryn Moore as assistant staff. There are a lot of new faces to our group! This is exciting because it brings a freshness that breathes life into everything as if it were new. It will also bring challenges and we all become more experienced in what we are doing and carrying out God's mission. Please be in prayer for us over the coming weeks.
We are excited as we begin to plan for sports camp which will run June 23-26. Our first NC participants will arrive on June 20 and we have A LOT to prepare before then. Our theme this year is "Motiv8". We want to examine our motives and make sure that we are being motivated by God and godliness. If those are in line, we are sure to succeed!
I will do my best to keep the blog updated with the newest revelations and happenings here at the center. Until then, keep praying and thank you for the support you've already given! :)
In Christ's love,
Alex
