Volunteer Voices

This weekend my volunteer community was up late playing a game after a fun night of contra dancing. When it's already four in the morning, and sunrise is at six, why end the night? My housemate David made some eggs, packed some fruit, and then we were on our way to the overlook at Flat Rock. This was the perfect way to continue and end our community and laugh filled night.

People back home will sometimes ask me how life in Kentucky is going, and it's always hard to pinpoint an answer. It's challenging, it's rewarding and it's a huge blessing.

The snacks are packed up, the floors are mopped, the cars drive away one by one, and WorkFest 2017 is officially over.

WorkFest (noun): an annual event that hosts college groups for a week at a time for three consecutive weeks to repair and rebuild houses for families in need.

My favorite night with my community this past month would have to be the night when we sat on the kitchen floor instead of at the table.

In January we celebrated the commitment of seven new AmeriCorps members along with two recommitments and several new short-term members. These individuals range from high school graduates to retired age, but all come to CAP with a singular purpose. To give of themselves in service of CAP’s mission to build hope, transform lives and share Christ’s love through service in Appalachia. Please keep these members of the CAP family in your prayers as they embark on this year of service.
