Youth from St. Louis sport pirates eye patches in their fun closing worship after a productive week doing flood recovery.It was a great way to wrap up a spirit-filled time with our new friends. We had a celebration BBQ tonight complete with cheeseburgers and hotdogs on the grill, Bill's famous peach cobbler and ice cream, capped off with a unique worship planned by the youth themselves. We watched a bit of Johnny Depp's "Pirates of the Caribbean," sported eye patches, and gave thanks to God for transformed lives in Christ.
In perhaps their most challenging day yet, the youth broke up concrete with sledgehammers and shovels. They are paving the way for a new sidewalk to be poured which will beautify the formerly flooded neighborhood. Tonight they got to meet some of the people who have been helped by their type of work in the neighborhood and celebrate with food and fun. At last check well over 50% of homeowners are back into their homes; more and more continue to come home every day. Our community continues our journey on the mend and it's thanks in part due to the hard work and Christ's compassion of our new friends from the south.
