Staying Cool at the last week of S.L.A.M.

Students Living A Mission youth are finishing up their summer program this week. The week will finish strong with Wild Waves, Community BBQ, and a final celebration with friends and family. Come by the People's Center on Friday July 31st 11:30-2 to grab some BBQ grub. The teens will be hosting a BBQ to serve their community.Hanging out in front of the fan...best place to stay cool!

Rock climbing with a blind fold...aka FAITH!

Riding public transportation!

Using creative hands ...

Memorizing God's word

Here is a sneak peak of the youth at S.L.A.M. learning and memorizing God's word!! Each day at S.L.A.M. the groups spend 20-30 min. learning about the Bible, today's application, and how much they are loved by God. Sorry about the side view : )

SLAM update

Week 1 at SLAM (Students Living A Mission)
Highlights:


Monday Science was filled with perseverance as the Middle/High School groups worked on wind mill models.

The 3rd-5th grade group actively learned more about reduce/reuse/recycling, as they made boxes and posters for the summer to remind the SLAM youth about their potential to not waste!

Here is the 1st-2nd grade group doing what they do best, HAVING FUN!!

Wednesday was a day of choice as each individual chose to participate in either acting, break dancing, singing, drum beats, and professional stick fighting.

Today we are going to Edgeworks for adventurous rock climbing!

Each summer I am reminded of the incredible volunteers that consistently provide safety, learning, and most of all love for these incredible youth. I am also reminded of the individual creativity that each child or adolescent reflects. We are grateful to God for the experiences and relationships all around us at SLAM.
