We had a great time doing I Serve. Everyone gathered at the church around 3 pm for snacks and a quick Bible study on John 13. It is an absolutely incredible passage where Jesus paints the picture of servanthood by washing His disciples' feet. We then talked about I Serve and divided into serving teams. Next, we headed to the New Beginnings Pregnancy Center. Once we arrived we spent a little time hearing about the mission and the programs of this ministry.
Everyone then served. There were teams working in the Blessings Store, the Donation Room, the Hugs Room, and the property. Kids were sorting, cleaning, raking, and organizing. Next, our group went shopping. Each team was given a scenario and lists of items to purchase. The total registration fees were divided among the entire group. Each team spent $60.00 on baby supplies.
Once everyone returned, we headed back to the church. We wrapped up by sharing about what we did for the New Beginnings Pregnancy Center. One student said this about her experience:
"I learned to serve others with a willing heart, that Jesus served others, and baby clothes are really cute! I sorted and folded baby clothes and I bought stuff for a newborn girl. I learned how I can help New Beginnings and I had impact on someone's life."
