SERVE 2009

Well, the new year has arrived, and the organizing committee is preparing for another SERVE project. The Serve 2009 blog site can be found HERE. Check it out, and see what we're planning for this year!

Thank You All

As Thunder Bay SERVE is over, and as everyone arrives back home, I want to first of all acknowledge that it is our loving Lord who provided the Spirit led week. God's blessings were abundantly evident and we are thankful to all who made it possible ...our speaker, Dawn Geschiere, musicians Troy Kooima and Dawn Ryswyk, the supportive and dedicated Adult Leaders, the prayer partners, the many donors from First, Hope and Bethlehem Christian Reformed Churches, to the Thunder Bay Christian School and First CRC for the generous use of their facilities, to the volunteers who helped on site as well as the superb members of the Thunder Bay Host Team, and last but not least, all the young SERVants that demonstrated the heart of God to the Thunder Bay community.
We know that God will continue to nurture the "seeds" planted in the hearts and minds of the "servers". It is our prayer that God will use these young people to "right the wrongs" in this world beginning in their own spheres of influence. God bless you. Maybe we can do this again next year.
Herb Bax, on behalf of the Thunder Bay Host Team.

Still more pictures...

We've added another 45 never before seen pictures to the Thursday, July 10 slide-show. FYI, we collected over 1200 pictures over the week, and a total of 723 appear in the daily slide-shows. Enjoy! Apparently there are still more coming.

Back to Summer

As you know, summer took a day off around here yesterday, but it's back into the mid 20's today. We hope you've had an enjoyable journey home. If you and/or your travel group arrived home safely, please drop us a short email to tbserve@gmail.com We'd love to hear confirmation that you made it back OK. If you have any travel stories to tell that we could share on this blog, we'd be happy to do that as well. It was great to have you with us in Thunder Bay.

After the Storm

The first group hit the road at the crack of dawn. We woke up to a crisp, clear morning sky. Traveling conditions should be beautiful along the spectacular shores of Lake Superior, as they take in the awesome sights of God's creation.

Time to go home...

Well, everyone made it back safely from their day at the park, all be it, a bit early. The planned wiener roast by the bonfire was overpowered by rain. So it was decided to finish off the day back at the school, where they enjoyed their hot-dogs. Bedtime is a little later tonight. Those that are sleep deprived, can catch up on the road home today. The day ended with a thunder storm accompanied by a heavy downpour, late in the evening. It just wouldn't be right to send our guests on their way without experiencing a Thunder Bay thunder storm. We pray for a safe journey home for all the travelers. Pictures will begin populating Friday's slide-show throughout today.

Another Movie

Everyone seems to love videos, so here's another clip from Wednesday evening's session.
