Day 6 - Cedar Point

As our week of mission comes to a close, we spent our final day in Sandusky at Cedar Point!

With the weather cooperating beautifully we made it to Cedar Point just before open at 10AM, various groups departing in all directions to conquer any and all roller coasters standing in their way. 

Some went big first, other started small, and others (okay, just want one whimpy Youth Director!) watched from the safety of the ground. 

Overall it was an incredible day, one filled with rollers coasters, delicious food, endless laughter, and newly formed inside jokes!

Day 5 - Habitat ReStore

For our last day of mission work we spent our day at the Firelands Habitat ReStore.

The Firelands Habitat For Humanity ReStore sells new and gently used furniture, appliances, and building materials. All items are sold at a fraction of the cost of retail stores. ALL proceeds benefit the Firelands Habitat For Humanity. 

With a group of 21 people, we were able to divide and conquer quite effectively today. 

One crew spent the majority of their day removing, cleaning, and reorganizing doors and windows. Another crew spent their time taking inventories of various pipes and pipe fittings. A third crew was tasked with shelf rearrangement and reorganization as well as window washing. The final group went to the workshop and spent the day organizing materials and working on the roof to a shed. 

Enjoy the pictures!

Day 4 - Nehemiah Center / Boys and Girls Club

Hi everyone it's Maddie Andrews taking over today's blog. Today our groups switched venues. My group worked at the Boys and Girls Club and entertained around 40 kids. We played games with the kids, our favorites included Just Dance,foosball, air hockey, ping pong, pool, and baseball. The youth also got to participate in a birthday celebration for the kids with June birthdays. 

The second group traveled to the Nehemiah Center and performed a variety of tasks. Some included painting, landscaping, and finishing setting up classrooms for the summer camp being held there next week. 

To wrap up the day we ended in our youth led devotionals, giving us time to reflect on our day and draw closer to God. 

Hope you enjoyed today's blog and will take some time to look at pictures from our mission work.
Squad out :)
