Also in June, the UB sponsored medical team held medical clinics near Masaya, Nicaragua. They were able to treat over a thousand patients over a several day period.
During the June VIBES meeting of the youth, they worked on cutting plastic shopping bags to be used by "New Life Handbags", a UB family run business in Honduras. The family crochets the plastic strips into various types of handbags to sell for extra income. The plastic strips were delivered in July and 25 newly made handbags were brought back to Virginia to sell.
In August, a group of 23 from Mt. Olivet travelled to Laurel Mission in Kentucky to serve for a week. They scraped, stained, painted, mulched, drywalled, underpinned, stapled, sorted clothes, insulated, ran electric and rode 4 wheelers to see horses and elk on top of the mountain. The youth from our group also enjoyed meeting with Rockhouse Youth Ministries.
The youth led 2 worship services this summer, on Father's Day and on August 3. The girls led worship through dance.
The guys performed a skit called "The Heart Patient".
And McKinsey preached on the subject of "idols".
The summer ended with a wonderful and relaxing church picnic at Oakdale Park. Now we are ready to jump into Fall.
