Season of Service

29 Jan

One of the great benefits of my job at the CityFest is that I get to hear all the stories of how God is working through the Season of Service to bless our city. It’s even better when I get to participate in these things. This past saturday 60 volunteers from Camelback Bible, Whitton Ave. Bible, & Redemption Church(Arcadia) combined forces with 40 students and staff members from Camelback High School to serve their community. We were able to help some people who had code violations but were unable to clean up their properties and also did some alleyway clean up and graffiti busting as well. Those that were helped were incredibly blessed and encouraged by the help that was provided.

That’s not even the best part. This is the third time we’ve come along side our community to bless them. The first was the during the education impact day last year when we blessed the Creighton schools by cleaning up and painting their schools. After that we blessed Camelback High School by doing a food drive for their in school food pantry as well as packaged 20,000 meals for Haiti. Many of the students there this past Saturday have been involved with all three of our efforts and been blessed by them. The partnerships that have been forged are strong and the staff and students know that their local churches are here to bless them. Lord willing, this Season of Service will become Years of Service and even Decades of Service.
