Be Flexible

Before leaving, Francis Millward reminded all of us to BE FLEXIBLE with love.

Drawing her finger across her forehead, while having us all do the same and repeating the words...BE FLEXIBLE...was a good reminder to be prepared to go with the flow and not get all bent out of shape if things do not go quite as planned or expected.

Love is required to do this, we need to love one another and make allowances for people.

So always, BE FLEXIBLE with love

TORCH

TORCH
Teens from area churches gathered at St. Paul's in Berea to sign up for an afternoon of community service.
First each participant fills out a permission slip with their parents, then they choose the project they want to participate in that day.

There was leaf raking, Lakeside Men's Shelter, St Hermans, Eliza Bryant Village and Transitional Housing available to choose from this past Saturday.

After signing up, the group gathered in a room for prayer and Francis Millwards encouraging message. Then they set off on their adventures!
