Service at Trinity Center

What a busy day! We had church at St John’s in the morning (some where there at the 8am service even!); we hung out in the Y’ALL building playing a serious game of pingpong; traveled across Austin for lunch; learned about and walked the labyrinth at St David’s; and finally set up, served at Trinity Center, and cleaned up! Two fantastic parents helped shuttle everyone around and shared in our fellowship and service together: a big thanks goes to Karoline and Mary Jan for helping! A total of ten awesome kids came from St John’s to serve, and Cathy’s two kids joined us as well! I’m so proud of our youth today – some stepped out of their comfort zones and really rose to the occasion by serving others. Other kids were always checking to see what else they could do to help out. We have some awesome youth at St John’s!

From the youth:

“I loved being able to put a smile on a complete stranger’s face today. It was so fulfilling. Also, it was a blast making food and lemonade and just goofing around with each other. When I saw some people who had less than me, it made me forget all my problems.”

“One of my favorite parts about today was spending the extra time and effort making the desserts and serving them to our less fortunate neighbors.”
