This was the boys’ second year participating in Flower City Work Camp.  It was the first year I participated.  The boys each served on Work Sites and I was an adult leader of a Sidewalk Club.

I have very few photos of the boys, but I have a lot of my time with Sidewalk Club.  Our club presented two VBS-like programs at two different vacant lots in the city to the kids in the neighborhoods with the goal of sharing the gospel to them. 

 

These photos are from throughout the week.
I reported Monday afternoon to get some group work done with our team and to decorate our vehicles.

Here’s my team.  ♥

Tuesday morning I had my first taste of “send off.”  This is when the Sidewalk Club teams encourage the work site kids on their way to their work sites.

Sidewalk Club teams work on their presentations for the day, and have devotions.  I must say I was blown away by the devotions our student shepherds led.

We ate lunch at 10:30 A.M., loaded our cars, and went to our sites. 
Our first day the weather was gorgeous.   We only had a few kids at our first site, and maybe double at our second site.

Wednesday morning I got to visit a bit with Gabby, who was on another Sidewalk club.  She’s from our church and I’ve know here since she was in 3rd grade. 

LoDestri Foods had donated gobs and gobs and gobs of tea to the ministry.  We did what we could to knock down the pile every day.  We handed them out to everyone we met.

Micah with some of the tea we took to the sites to give away.

Wednesday – was wet.  And cold.

We got more tea on Thursday

And a ton more rain.

It was a great week.  I believe seven kids came to Christ on our Sidewalk Sites.

And Nigel and Stewart had a great week on their sites, as well.

Meanwhile, Marie and Tab held down the fort at home.
