Summertimeby Charley HellmuthGreetings!!!! I wanted to share a brief snapshot of the New Orleans Mission Trip we just returned from and give you a heads up on the next trips we have scheduled. It was incredibly hot and rewarding all at the same time. We were collaborating with other churches from around the states and partnering with Vintage Church...a church plant in the Uptown area of New Orleans (very similar to the Uptown area of Dallas). Our work included cleaning up lots in the lower ninth ward, volunteering at an assisted care living facility, food bank, canvassing neighborhoods for VBS promotion and the list goes on. Each day I was really excited to see our kids get up ready to take on the day and whatever it held for them; not just in tasks but also in spiritual things. These are only highlights of course, and you can see the videos that Clay West posted in the earlier posts to gain a clearer picture of our time there. Coming up are some great things to be signing up for as I type this... If you are in high school, then Student Life Beach Camp to Orange Beach, AL July 14th - 18th is for you and your friends!!! I still have several spots open for this trip and what a great way to spend a week of your summer...sand, sun, FUN, friends, and expanding our faith. If you are in middle school and are thinking to yourself..."I wonder what I can do this summer"...I have a plan for you and your friends too. Student Life Camp at Oklahoma Baptist University, July 25th - 29th. It will be a great chance to spend some time with your friends and learn more about a relationship with God. If you have questions, then just call me at 214.557.5419 or email me at chellmuth@fbccoppell.org. You can also check out the following websites for videos and more general info.
