Spring Hill 2009 – VI

Final installment, for those of you following.
Friday night was our final night at Spring Hill. After working all day on various projects like building a bridge, cleaning bathrooms, setting up a big tent, and washing yet MORE dishes, we finally settled in for the evening.
We wrapped everything up by focusing on a strategy for [...]

Spring Hill 2009 – V

Whew! We are dragging today! It’s been a good week but I think I will be ready when we go home.
Yesterday afternoon was a good hard work day. It got nice and warm and most of our group spent the afternoon down by the lake digging deep holes with a [...]

Spring Hill 2009 – III

Memories from SpringHill (part 2)

In my last post I began to tell about our annual trip to SpringHill. In this post I’ll share a few more things that were memorable.
6. Every year, for the past 3 or 4 years, I have written a devotional for the youth to follow all week long. This devotional not only gives [...]

Memories from SpringHill

Since my last post was about our trip to SpringHill for the junior high weekend I thought I would share about another trip we take to SpringHill.
Every year, for the past several years, we have taken a group of high school students to SpringHill. This is a service project for us since [...]
