July 3- "True Religion..."
Today the Potomac Team had a cool opportunity. In the afternoon, the Ob'ers headed out to a local Nursing Home. Here the students were intentional in building relationships, initiating prayer, being an encouragement, and last but not least: being a good listener. O, and they put on a program too.
The morning began with a refreshing hose shower, followed by a few hours of manual labor. The Ob'ers helped be an encouragement to the church here in Winchester by: pulling weeds, cleaning the church, making props for the upcoming VBS, and washing vans (after which we decided to wash our bus as well! What can i say- the bus needed it, and students had free time!)
After the nursing home visit, the team had a pizza with the church and put on a program. This was out first outdoor program, so it was cool to see the students have to adjust to the different conditions (i.e., the puppet stage almost falling down due to the wind-whoops!)
(pictures for this day are on a separate post)
Finally, the team had some hang time around a bon fire in the backyard of the Winchester GBC. So we took advantage of it fully by making lots and lots of s'mores!
The guys also took advantage of the beautiful weather and outdoors by sleeping outside under the moonlight.
