Another incredible and eventful day is coming to a close here in Nashville. As students wrap up their small group time. Here’s a little glimpse at what some of our groups did today.
This morning we kicked off the day with devotions and quiet time centered around compassion. Some groups spread out throughout the CSM space while a few other groups ventured out to local coffee shops with their leaders to fuel up and do quiet time in the community.
In the morning, some groups visited learning centers where students helped K-5 develop reading skills while some cleaned local parks and others visited Project C.U.R.E where they sorted and packed medical supplies that will be donated to hospitals and health organizations in developing countries.
We’ve had a couple of students with some minor stomach aches earlier today but those issues have been taken care of and students are feeling much better.
In the afternoon, some of our groups combined to do joint service projects. One of those projects involved helping at Second Harvest, one of the larger food banks in Tennessee. Students sorted and packed over 4,976 pounds of food that will go towards providing 4,147 meals that will be distributed to local non-profit organizations that feed people who are in need.
Tonight we had a very lively Porch Time. Students were energized and excited to share their experiences from the day and moments where they experienced Jesus. Small groups are deepening their bonds and having great conversations.
Good night from Nashville!
