What a great time of work and witness the two groups experienced in Pikeville, Kentucky, June 16-23, 2013! 12 youth and 5 leaders from the Forks Church met up in Kentucky with a group of 23 from Redeemer Church in Lynchberg, Virginia.
Dividing into 5 work teams for the week, they were able to complete all the tasks assigned! They painted several large common areas in one of the dorm buildings, replaced a large tin roof on Mr. and Mrs. Brown's house, completely built a new pitched roof over Ms. Linda's flat-roofed trailer and painted the front and side of her trailer. A small team worked Friday afternoon and early Saturday morning to build two sets of outside steps for Ms. Mural.
Even with all their work, there was time in the evenings to play Four Square, Basketball, spend time in the gym, go for ice cream, go swimming, see the new Superman movie, and camp overnight in tents Saturday night before heading home on Sunday, June 23!
The parents of each of these kids should be very proud of their accomplishments! All the leaders are!
Enjoy the pictures to the right. There are some more to be added. They will also be posted on Facebook shortly.

Preparation for Pikeville Mission Trip - May 14 & May 21, 2013
Youth (and parents of youth) going to Pikeville!!
This is a reminder that the Sharing Your Faith instruction/lessons will take place over the next two youth group meetings on May 14 and 21. Part of the spiritual preparation commitment for the Pikeville trip was that the youth planning on going were to make their best possible effort to attend these meetings.
We are aware that some of you will not be in attendance because of prior band/choral requirements and that is fine. However, if anyone else has a prior commitment for the next two Tuesdays and won't be able to attend the meetings, please let Mr. Shawn know.
Arrangements will be made for any youth unable to come can still receive the handout materials that will be used for the lessons.
Also, a packet of forms (official permission slip, tentative schedule, packing list, tentative menu) will be distributed at next Tuesday's meeting, May 14. The packet will also be emailed out to everyone on the Pikeville team the next day.
