Servant Project – Joel Yoder

One part of attending convention was to serve members of the Columbus community through a “Servant Project”.  The Berkey Ave. MYF’s service took place on Tuesday afternoon, just before the opening worship service that evening.  Once the youth arrived at the service site, a cul-de-sac of project housing, they were instructed to create flowerbeds in front of each condo.  This involved lots of shoveling bringing wheel barrows of dirt from three massive piles to the many designated plots.  As the proper amount of dirt was distributed to more than 40 plots, some of the youth spread mulch.  All this work was in preparation for flowers to be planted in these plots by the other youth groups.  Our MYF came away tired but feeling that they made a huge difference.
