This past Sunday our Summer Mission Team – CLE2014, enjoyed lunch with the Hunsickers and their Growth Group to celebrate their win in the food drive contest. We had a blast playing and sharing what God did in and through us this summer.
Tonight, our group started off with a fun and crazy game – Bite the Bag. Ask them to show you – it’s challenging.

And just like that, the summer’s gone, and the school year is well underway. I enjoyed our School Year Kickoff Cookout two Sundays ago. I’m excited for all that God has in store for our group throughout this year.
One thing that was missing from our gathering was the 2014-2015 Student Ministry Calendar. You can pick up a copy in the Youth Center, or download it here: 2014-2015_StudentMinistriesCalendar.

MissionCle2014 Day 6
We had a great week with Impact Student Ministries from Rochester, MN. They left this morning, but we continued serving strong all day. We worked again at MedWish this morning. It was impacting to hear how the items we’ve been sorting all week were expedited today to the Ukraine. They will be used to help train and supply first responders during this time of crisis.
This afternoon we worked on a number of projects here at PHBC including painting the PHCA lunchrooms and splitting wood and helping clear the pavilion site. We look forward to the fires this will supply.
We finished our evening off at the Randolphs’. We enjoyed dinner, worship, sharing about our experience, and relaxing. What an amazing week!
We’re tired – but it is a good tired. We fill like we’ve poured our life out for Christ this week.
See you at pick (4 pm).

MissionCle2014 Day 4 & 5
Day 4: Each of our days has started with a similar routine:
- Hot showers
- Filling breakfast (Thanks to Grace Adams, Kathy Randolph, and their team for feeding us!)
- Personal devotions – studying some of the challenging sayings of Christ
After this, we’ve launched into full days of ministry. We’ve spent each morning at the Parma Area Family Collaborative, playing with kids and serving them breakfast. Then we finished sorting the mountain of donated food items. (Thanks again!) Then we spent the rest of the morning visiting local schools and a few parks, where we cleaned up and prayed for that immediate community. We spent our afternoon sorting medical supplies at MedWish. This is a project our teens enjoy. We finished up with a trip to Honey Hut, then playing and worship at a nearby park.
Day 5: Today was long, but amazing. After serving at the Param Collab, we worked on landscaping and residential cleanup for a number of Parma Heights residents in need. It was amazing the amount of work we got done! In the evening we helped serve at our Hot Food Ministry. The last part of our night was worshiping together for the last time. (CCC leaves in the morning.)
That’s it for now. Enjoy the pictures.
