Last Saturday, October 1st, Springfield Assembly, led by WA Hailey, volunteered their weekend to help clean-up a segment of Accotink Creek by Fullerton Road. The clean-up was part of an effort by “Friends of Accotink.” In spite of the rain and high water preventing them from a total clean-up, the girls gathered an amazing array of debris including a shopping cart and bottles. Others present were Sisters Triska and Jeanne as well as Mom Rose, Mom Edna, and Dad Harold.

On Saturday, September 10, Kaitlyn, Katie, Meg, Phoenix, and I went to Child ID at Landstown Commons. Many people showed up at the event Saturday. All of us had a lot of fun and got about 4 hours of service. Even though Katy and Phoenix’s computer was having some problems, we still had a long line and finished with many people. Thanks to Meg’s dad, we had a great day on the 10th.

On Friday August 26th, Hampton Assembly helped build a play set for a little girl battling autism and cancer. The build started at 8 am and we finished around 1:30pm. Mom Beth, Mom Kim, Lauren, and I built the roof. Rachal helped another group make the ladder and rock wall. It was so cool to see the pieces we made get put together to make something amazing.

When Madalyn came out, we all waved our hands and her face lit up. She was so happy! She went straight for the swing. As she was swinging, Roc Solid presented a picture to her parents that talked about what cancer can not take away. It was so amazing to see the impact that we made on that family.

After we finished building, we were asked to start sorting the pieces for the next build. So, not only did we help one kid, we started the process of helping another one.

To see the little Madalyn so happy and her parents so thankful helped us to realize what these two organizations are about; helping and bringing joy to others and helping as many individuals as we can. It was an absolutely amazing day, and I can’t wait to help with another build!

On August 16, Relena, Pia, Phoenix, Alyssa, Sarah, Joie, Mom Christi, Mom Sarah, Mom Paula, Mom Judy, and I went to Connect with a Wish to help out with the packing school supplies for foster children. We put the school supplies into backpacks to be delivered to the foster children. Norfolk Assembly had an amazing time working together to help all of these children.
