A Lovely Week with Levy

The final spring break group was a high school group from Levy Church of Christ in Little Rock, Arkansas.  We were especially excited about this group being here because most of our groups this summer will be high school groups.  We felt like this group would be a good representation of how our summer groups will interact with the prospective students from the school.  Levy did not disappoint us.  They were an absolutely phenomenal group, and the way they interacted with our prospective students was exactly what we hoped for.  
One of the things I found most impressive about this group was their VBS.  It was apparent that they had put so much planning and thought into each and every aspect of it.  The kids loved it, and I even had fun participating!  The theme was Jesus walking on the water.  They had an incredible skit, two really fun and unique crafts, a ton of new games, and an organized, systematic way of getting kids from place to place.  The VBS was a true success, and I was really proud of this group and how much work they did to make it as great as possible for these kids.
With the Levy group came Jordan Crow.  Also while the Freed Hardeman group was here, Audrey Parker had arrived to spend a few weeks.  Both Audrey and Jordan along with Glenn Weaver who came with the Freed Hardeman group are moving here this summer.  We all interned together this past summer, and it was so much fun to get to spend this time together as well.  I am so excited for each of these people to be here, and I pray that God will bless them as they continue to prepare to move here in the next few months.
God truly blessed us with some amazing groups over spring break.  It was so much fun to spend time with them and get to know them better.  I am so thankful that God prepared each of these groups to be a part of the work here.  They were such a blessing to the kids, and such a blessing to our team here.  Thanks to all of the spring break groups for three wonderful weeks!



One of the many fun games the group played at their VBS.


Soap dolls were one of the great crafts the kids got to make.  They loved them!


Great skit guys!  It was so creative and fun!


The bracelets were also a blast.  The kids are still wearing them around.


Sweet Audrey.  I can not wait for her to be here!!!


Jordan is such a great guy!  I know he's going to do great things when he moves here!


The entire Levy group.  Thanks for a great week guys!
