Serving in Newport TN - Monday and Tuesday

Monday and Tuesday in Tennessee

Matthew 25:40

"And the King will answer and say to them, 'Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.'

It's hard to believe the kids are half way through their week in Newport. They are keeping very busy!   A typical day begins about 6:30a. They are off to breakfast by 7a. After Breakfast, they make their lunches for the day, group bible study, break off into individual bible study and  have an orientation about their day and their service projects.  After their service projects, the kids are brought to a facility to shower and then they have some free time. They eat dinner -which they take turns helping prepare and clean up after. In the evening they have an activity coordinated by Youth Works. They do another music/church hour and then are allowed free time until bed at 11pm. 

Some of the service projects the kids have been helping with this week are painting local families fences:

Helping with a local elementary school child care

And helping organize and sort at the local Good Will

In the evening, Youth Works has coordinated activities for the kids to see some of the land and experience some of it's culture. 

 Bridge over the river in the Smokey Mountains

Tuesday, they visited Hal's Farm, where they experienced a professional, authentic Bluegrass Band!

The kids are creating memories and keeping busy. It's hard to believe they will be packing up and heading for their 2 day trip back home already Friday morning.
