Sunday, March 14, everyone arrived for the Spring Service Trip in West Virginia. After unpacking, getting acquainted with the housing facility, and having supper, all attendees gathered for a brief meeting and introduction to the spiritual discussion for the week’s gathering times. Following that, some people played games while others took time to get to know other people. Eventually it was time to go off to bed.
Monday morning, after breakfast, there was the usual Monday Morning Momentum of being excited to get to the job site, however time was needed to get familiar with the work, what was needed to be done, gathering tools and necessary materials. Eventually work was begun, with a break for lunch. At the end of the day it was back to the housing facility for supper, showers and a gathering time. The topic for the evening was soul. A discussion was held about the difference between a Christian’s soul and that of a non-believer. Then again there was time to hang out, play games, watch a movie, etc.
After a struggle to wake up and deciding what to have for breakfast it was off to the work site. Over the two days the following work was tackled: installing X beams, sleepers, insulation, drywall nailers, stair stringer, electrical outlets and light switches; cleaning walls and carpeting of a house; framing a few walls; digging around a building; removing the dirt from the outside walls, and then putting sealer on those walls to prevent water from entering the building.
Following supper and showering the group gathered for worship and a time of spiritual focus. The focus of Tuesday evening was the heart and discussing our motivations and desires and how do we make certain they are God’s motivations and desires, as opposed to our own.
