Woodlawn Youth Ministry

Abilene Mission Work Week 2003
What an incredible week it has been!  The Lord has shown his power, his love, and his faithfulness by allowing this youth group to serve this community in so many ways.  It has been such a blessing to watch these young men and women work so very hard for the Lord.

I am tempted to tell everything that went on during the week, but then there would be nothing left to say this Sunday night.  I want to encourage all of you to join us for Sunday night worship.  During this time, we will reflect on the many things the teenagers did this past week.

I also want to shout out a big "thank you" to everyone who supported this youth group, both financially and spiritually.  Without you this week would have been almost impossible.  May the Lord bless you and keep you always. Because of Christ,
Elijah Godfrey

"...whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must by your slave - just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." -- Matthew 20:26-28
