Walk Across Alabama

As some of you may know, I’ve been in Iowa for a few weeks wrapping up some National Guard training. I’ve been involved in a planning and team development exercise that has been a great learning experience and somewhat fun. I guess what I realize is that I’m just not a big fan of cold weather. Never have been-most likely never will be. So, my training has been about 2 miles every other day for the past two weeks. Not exactly the 20 miles/day I need to be working toward. But, that is ok. Beginning this weekend, the training begins.

Also-this week we are also launching our sponsorships for Sonshine Kids Day Camp. This camp in Livingston (West Alabama) provides children with a safe place to learn about God, play, and have enrichment opportunities. It is a positive intervention into children’s lives. Knowing the hardships that children in poverty face make sour walk that much more critical. We walk so that we can repair homes but also so we can be play a positive role in a young child’s life. Christ’s message of love is SOOOO HUGE…and it takes all of us to continually and daily communicate it.

Would you like to walk? There is an information meeting next Thursday April 2nd 6:30 PM at Auburn UMC RM 102 in the Britt Building. It is for those in the Auburn/Opelika area interested in the walk. Are you coming with us??? Then this is the meeting you can come to. Blessings to you all and see you on the walk!
