... to reach Auburn.

I have been part of a King's Kids team called Crimson Bridge, for over 10 years now. I have been on staff for I think half of that time. Crimson Bridge always divides into smaller teams for our summer outreaches. This year was my first year leading a team. I led a team into the wilds of Auburn, our home town. My team was amazing though! They were pretty much willing to do anything! On Monday we served the city of Auburn by volunteering to clean Game Farm Park. We raked pine needles and pine cones for three hours, and I did not hear one peep of complaining! Wednesday we went to the Auburn Food Bank to help sort two big crates. We sorted 2200 lbs. of food which may seem like a lot but in reality that only lasts half a day at the food bank. Thursday was a day to minister to our pastors. We split up into two groups and went to 6 of the 7 pastor's homes to do lawn care and wash cars. It was a blast! Friday, we spent an evening at Centennial Park overlooking Auburn just praying and debriefing the week so far. It was so nice to relax with the team. Saturday was our last day of outreach. We watched the kids at the Pentecostal Church at Muckleshoot's grand opening of their new facility. The kids were great!
Overall, it was great to help out in our own community. I think the home team outreach can only get better from here!
