The sophs+ (that’s ‘sophs and up’!) had a whirlwind 24-hr trip out to the beautiful Central Texas hill country – leaving Friday night right after the TFN, we went to the spacious rental house and had yummy, warm beef barley soup to fend off the chill, quesadillas (cooked up by our soph+ sisters), and played some fun games, topped off with a stirring viewing of ‘Glory Road’ (go UTEP!). And that was just the first night! The following day some bros caught the sunrise, some went fishing, and then after brunch and devotional time, everyone got together for a drive over to Enchanted Rock (‘North America’s largest pluton’), where we hiked up to some crazy rock formations, fished at Moss Lake, and then capped it off with a gorgeous sunset at the end of the Summit Trail. The drive home was chock-full of funny jokes, riddles, and Talkabout-car games, with a stop off at Cooper’s BBQ in the middle. Phew! It was such a blast, and we can’t wait for our next soph+ outing!

During this season of Thanksgiving, we will be having two community service opportunities as we share God’s love with our neighbors. As we are grateful for all that God has done in our lives, we want to express that in loving those in need around us.

Please join us for either our visit to the Austin Nursing Home and Salvation Army Shelter on Saturday, Nov. 21. We will hold a special presentation at each of the locations, making and giving crafts to either the children at the Shelter or the elderly in the Nursing Home, and share a special message of God’s love.
