Well, it's only 2 more days until the start of Lymahatchie! We will begin our mission project on Monday morning. We are all ready to spread love and kindness as Jesus shows all of us!
Our theme for this year is "All for One and One for All!" We will be the "Lymateers" and will be focusing spiritually on reaching from within to get outside of ourselves and touch the lives of others inside and out.
Please check back with us daily, as new posts will be added, along with pictures!

Lymahatchie 2009
Hey everyone! This was our 2nd Lymahatchie and I am pleased to tell you that everything went smoothly and all the kids did a great job of doing their part of the work and getting everything completed on time. The youth did so well that we were actually finished the houses ahead of schedule!
The two houses we worked needed our help, whether it was physically attention or spiritual encouragement. The Roofas worked on Mrs. Rhonda's roof while a few handy men in the church worked on her bathroom floor that was about to fall through!
The other house belongs to Sandy and Wayne, who really needed a handicap ramp on the steps to make it easier to Wayne to get out of the house. Both the porches were pressure washed and repainted, the house was also pressure washed. The roof of the house was covered in cool seel so that there would not be any leaks. We also laid sod between the stones we laid down to work as a path so Wayne's chair could more easily glide across his yard. We laid mulch down around the big front island in front of the house and the flower beds up against the house. It took several loads of mulch to cover everything but that wasn't a problem for our youth group.
Thanks to all of those who helped us out by supplying lunches and dinners and coming on the two different sites to give the youth a helping hand. Thanks also to the SNACK WAGON folks who came by in the hot afternoons to replenish the energy of out hard working youth and other members of the church who were there to help.
I would also like to thank Shawn Harter and Kimbo Bridges for leading the youth and guiding them to do what needed to be done. We would also like to thank Mrs. Rhonda and Sandy and Wayne for letting us work on their homes for them. And last but certainly not least I would like to thank God for working His powers and leading us to the ones who needed us the most this year during Lymahatchie!
Good job LUMC Youth! Job well done. I can't wait to see what God has in store for us to do next year!
Go Jesus!
