Howdy,
Well, somehow I find myself once again unprepared to write a newsletter and yet so much to write about. Work groups, fun fest preparation, warehouse projects, and more! Might as well get into it.
Fun Fest
July 19th CMTS is having Fun Fest Fundraiser to raise money for upgrades to our mechanic shop. Preparations for this event has been going on for quite some time but has really ramped up over the last month or so. June 20th I set out some signs around some of the local areas. In this last week before the Fun Fest we have been super busy setting up tents and booths, testing out games, and figuring out logistics. At this event I will be running our car smash, in which you can spend tickets to damage a car in several different creative ways. Obviously as I am writing this there is only a few days left until our event but we would love to see you there, Saturday July 19th 11-3 at 1119 N Boundary rd Bernville 19506.
Work Groups
From June 24th to June 30th we had a workgroup come in from a church in NJ! During this workgroup we put a huge dent in our clothing trailer, it was basically completely sorted by the time they had left! During this time we also undertook a major project in the warehouse. We completely emptied off an entire row of pallet racking, purged what we could, and then moved the rack out 12 inches to make more room, as well as changed the height of the horizontal levels to better fit pallets. This took nearly 2 days with the workgroup and at least 5 days of prep work before they even showed up. This project cleared up so much needed space in the warehouse and has made our operation much more effective.
Personal Life
This past month a lot has happened in my personal life, from growing more into community to making future commitments God has been growing me in trust as well as discernment! On Fathers Day my family and I went to a gun range in Myerstown and then had ice cream together, a few days later Joel and I went to a Reading Phillies baseball game together, I went on two different beach trips (Ocean City New Jersey), Nick fixed my car, I helped my brother move out of the house we grew up in, got into a relationship, and started moving into the dorm in preparation for the new students! I have been blessed through all of this, but obviously there is still much to pray about!
Praises & Prayer Requests
- Praise God for my relationship
- Praise God for the finances to have my car fixed
- Praise God that I can be involved with Equip
