Thank you to everyone who made this trip possible. We made many new relationships and were able to help countless families (and had a blast doing so). We couldn’t have done it without all of your love, prayers, and support. Next post: construction pics!
We ended this inspiring (and fun, if you can tell We ended this inspiring (and fun, if you can tell by the pictures) trip with a share circle. This is one of the most touching parts of the trip, as everyone shares their favorite moment, or “God Moment”, from the week. It is always amazing to see what volunteers take away from just 5 days of work. Enjoy these fun photos while we organize construction photos to share with you all!
We had a fun day today! Our first slide is Gabe do We had a fun day today! Our first slide is Gabe doing our morning devotional: Family Feud (Church Edition). After working hard at our homes, we had a picnic that all the homeowners were invited to. We ended the day with a giant game of Family Feud. Some of you may be wondering who the Steve Harvey of the day is…. and the answer is Nick!

We have plenty more photos to share with you all so stay tuned. And, of course, we have two Steve Harvey’s of the day for yesterday and today!!

Look forward to photos later in the week! The end of the day was filled with ice cream sundaes and Greek dancing of course! And, featured at the end of the slideshow, is our Steve Harvey of the Day! If you’ve been following along you know we had one yesterday as well. Family Feud has been a big hit here during free time. See you all tomorrow!
Day 2 has come to an end! A big thank you to Holy Day 2 has come to an end! A big thank you to Holy Trinity in Roanoke, VA for welcoming us into their community. We safely made it to our center in Rupert, WV, and we can’t wait to start our first day of construction. See you tomorrow!

Last month we had our stock letter meeting and we have been so thankful for the generous support of our parishes, family, and friends thus far. We also enjoyed a "dos and don'ts" fashion show about appropriate attire at Liturgy, the worksite, and the center from some of our younger adult leaders! . #orthodox #mission #orthodoxmission #orthodoxservice #orthodoxyouth #orthodoxlife #ocmc #asp #oymt1 #acrod #oca #goarch
We have been hard at work preparing for this summe We have been hard at work preparing for this summer's mission trip with @appservproject! At our first meeting in January, we discussed the theme and scripture for this year's trip, practiced using a circular saw, made sandwiches for each other like we'll do in Appalachia, and began to build relationships as a mission team. At our meeting in February, we practiced flooring, learned to make biscuits, and performed skits modeling good vs. poor stewardship. Excited for our stock letter meeting this afternoon!
