So what did we have to say on Wednesday at church time

WHAT IS COMMMUNITY? CAMERON...bonding as a group and helping each other out. RYLIE...picking up trash TOGETHER made it better OLIVIA...we play off each other, a chain reaction BILL...Olivia and Cozette were able to use their French language skills to speak to an women from Haiti in her native tongue which gave her such joy. LYDIA...so many people to encourage each other. Anytime I have felt low during this trip someone has come along and lifted me up. Thank God for this community lifting each other up. OLIVIA...it was a real low when I was feeling ill earlier today (note: some sleep and she was all better in a couple of hours). Everyone was so supportive to me and a great source of strength. MATTIE...youth on this trip bonded regardless of age. Much more connection! WHY IS IT SO DIFFICULT TO ACCEPT HELP FROM OTHERS? CAMERON...pride gets in the way. LYDIA...we are here to help others not be seeking help ourselves. MAGGIE...I should be the helper not the helped OLIVIA..sign of weakness. Don't want to be seen in that light. HOW CAN WE TAKE IT HOME...WHAT TO DO?? NOLAN...offer more encouragement be more proactive KELLY...reaching out in our own community and especially at the HUB. MARY BETH...appreciate others more. Determined to appreciate those around me more. SHERRY...bonding with each other it we have to keep cultivating and keep these relationships growing and developing. Trust is so important when you need to reach out for support and that is found by cultivating those relationships. They just don't "happen". ABBY...finding a partner today during devo time and praying for each other very powerful. How great it felt to pray with and for each other. Knowing I can text a friend and ask them to pray is comforting. CAMERON...not just at church. We need to be an encouragement at school and be a light in a dark world.
